In 1969, Sewall students had the innovative idea to bring engaging professors into Sewall Hall to teach residents in small classes.听The first academic classes took place in Sewall听with great success听in the fall of 1970.
The success of this program at Sewall encouraged other RAPs to form over the years; there are now a dozen听residential academic programs at CU.
We are proud of our academic program and the community connections created between the generations of students who have lived, learned, and created lifelong friendships in Sewall Hall. As part of Sewall鈥檚 history, fathers, mothers, aunts, uncles, brothers, and sisters have encouraged the next generation of students听to choose Sewall for its community and academic opportunities.
As a result, Sewall has an academic and residential听legacy unlike any other on the CU Boulder campus.
If there is a "Sewalligan" in your family, we encourage you to continue the legacy by听choosing听the Stories and Societies听RAP in Sewall Hall听for your first-year experience.
