Pet Rocks

It may be college, but students are never too old to get their fingers full of glitter and glue. Residents of Buckingham Hall enjoyed an evening of socializing and expressing their creativity at the Pet Rock event. Related to our place and space theme, a group of students hiked to the creek to adopt a piece of Boulder to bring home as their own. Together, residents participated in decorating their rocks with an assortment of pipe cleaners, paints, and many other crafts. As the communication dorm, many residents took advantage of the open-door policy and these rocks can be seen throughout the hall due to residents using them as doorstops. The Pet Rock program not only opened opportunity for residents to engage in an activity together and explore parts of Boulder’s natural surroundings, but also encouraged residents to continue building friendships within the Residence Hall.
