SWAC, FIRs, and RAs regularly organize Southwest Area cheese-centered events. Whether it’s a FIR “Wine” and Cheese reception, an Area Council Build Your Own Charcuterie Board, or an RA Cheese Tasting, Southwest Area leaders love to offer any event related to cheese. These events are a fun and delicious way to way to get to know your Southwest Area friends!

Ceramics Night

Southwest Ceramics

Every year, the Southwest Area Council hosts a themed ceramics painting! Kicking the year off with Spooky Ceramics, Southwest Area residents enjoyed boba, cookies, and Halloween-themed pottery. While the theme changes every year, this evening gives you the chance to explore your creative side and take home a professionally glazed ceramic piece!

Sunset S'mores

Each academic year, Southwest Area Council welcomes residents to campus with their area tradition, Sunset S’mores. Southwest Area residents gather at the Willard Fire Pit to make a s’more and meet other members of the area community. Don’t miss Sunset S’mores next year!
