Located in North Spencer and South Spencer residence halls, the Spencer RC themed around Health and Justice community welcomes students from all majors who are interested in exploring the connections among individual well-being, community health, and justice.

Whether your interests include medicine, public health, mental health, human rights, law, advocacy, or community service, the Spencers offer a supportive environment where you can connect your interests to real-world issues and create meaningful change.
