New Year, New Hall!

 Happy new year y'all.  I hope everyone had a restful holiday season and is ready to attack the new year on a positive note. In 1504, everyone seemed to return from break in high spirits. The biggest news of the month has been our ongoing preparation for February's Clash of the Halls, but we'll go into more detail about that in the next edition.

January also saw IMSA's Lunar New Year cultural show. Several 04 students participated in the performance celebrating east Asian and Pacific Island culture.

Back in the hall this month's programming was kept lighthearted, fun, and socially engaging as we transitioned smoothly from Intersession back into the regular school year. A highlight of this was our MLK jr. day programming, where each wing's RSLs hosted a movie night where the feature film highlighted, in some way, the value of diversity. This program also marked the return of wing-to-wing Visitation to 1504, which was widely celebrated throughout the hall.

To wrap up the month, a group of 1504 students generously shared their Magic: The Gathering cards with some friends from 1505 as we hosted a small card game night.




That's it for January! Thanks for reading our blog, and we look forward to sharing all the exiting news coming up in February next time! Everyone stay safe, stay warm, and have a great month!

 Congratulations to all of our students at 1504 for completing another year at IMSA. With the year over, we'd like to go over the programming and events we had in the month of May as our students were preparing for Summer! Starting off with the first week of May, 1504 enjoyed an End of the Year Pizza Party at the campus slabs. Our RSLs helped set up the event for all the students, as everyone enjoyed sports, socializing and music! In the weeks following our End of the Year pizza party, RC Caleb took a couple of students to the Brookfield Zoo! They had a great time and enjoyed the relaxing vibes of the city as they witnessed the abundance of wildlife.      We want to thank all the students and their families for trusting us to support and care take for them this year, and wish everyone a happy and sunny Summer! We will see you all, next August!  THANK YOU!

  Happy May!! Time flies! We are in the final stretch of the academic year with one full month remaining. The residents of 1504 have been engaging in a variety of activities in addition to their studies this past month.
