The Thomas G. Ayers College of Commerce and Industry (CCI) is located next to the Henry Crown Sports Pavilion and Aquatic Center (SPAC) and just off of Lake Michigan.
The hall also includes a small library, three kitchenettes, a media lounge, and War Room containing an assortment of board games, a piano, and computers.
[5] East Fairchild's focus is mass media, attracting students interested in film, television, radio and journalism.
[6] CRC was built in 1981 as part of a $23 million South Campus project, which included the construction of 1861 Sheridan, 1835 Hinman and other residence halls.
A $2 million gift from the Sherman Fairchild Foundation helped provide equipment and finance other expenses for the residential college.
It was named in honor of Emily Hatfield Hobart, a Northwestern University alumna who was killed in the civil strife in China in 1928 while serving as a missionary.
[12] Before that, North Mid-Quads was notably the freshman year dorm of Duchess of Sussex and School of Communications graduate Meghan Markle.
The college's main purpose was to provide a home to students interested in the interaction of diverse cultures and urban communities in the U.S. and abroad.
Located at 655 University Place in a building known as South Mid Quads, Shepard is near downtown Evanston, as well as the southern half of campus.
[16] Shepard Hall was constructed as part of Northwestern's Centennial celebration and was dedicated in November 1952 as an addition to the women's quadrangles.
The original building was made possible by a donation from Mrs. Margaret Bowen Shepard to honor her husband and sister (who was the dean of women at Northwestern).
[20] It was named after Ben Slivka, a Northwestern graduate of 1982 who headed Microsoft's Internet Explorer team up to version 3.0.
While predominantly made up of engineers and scientists, the Slivka community has included students from all six of the Northwestern University schools.
It is organized into suites by gender and has an unusually high retention rate of upperclassmen in comparison to its sister residential colleges.
[22] Slivka frequently invites professors and other Northwestern faculty, such as Sir Fraser Stoddart, to speak on subjects ranging from nanotechnology to the economics of the internet to social scandals in Elizabethan England.
Notable alumni include Shelley Long, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, J. P. Manoux, Seth Meyers, David Schwimmer, Nicole Sullivan, Dave Revsine, Richard Kind, and Stephen Colbert.
