  • Welcome to the CRC

Under the administrative umbrella of the College of Letters and Science, L&S Student Academic Affairs, and University Housing, Chadbourne Residential College comprises more than 800 University of Wisconsin-Madison undergraduate students who live together in Barnard and Chadbourne Halls. As a residential learning community, CRC blends academic life and residential hall living. CRC encourages active student involvement in residential life activities and student governance, and a commitment to issues, activities, and programs related to social change.

  • Together we create a community of learners committed to the life of the mind in the broadest sense.
  • Together we will use a variety of informal activities -- lectures, symposia, discussion groups, field trips, film nights, art exhibits, parties – to complement our formal studies.
  • Together we create a community in which students and professors have lots of chances to get to know each other outside the classroom in an effort to foster all collaborative learning, mentoring, and friendship.
  • Together we can develop our leadership skills by involvement in community service both on campus and off.
  • Together we create a community which promotes tolerance, respect, and well-roundedness among its members by encouraging community members to learn from and take joy in each other's diverse backgrounds and talents.

Feel free to explore our website for more information regarding our Residential College.
