Becoming a non-resident member of CCS is a great idea! Being a non-res means that you can gain access to all CCS and Residential College Board (RCB) events, both on campus and in Chicago, even if you don’t live in CCS. For a small quarterly or annual fee, you can experience all of the wonderful things that CCS has to offer!
