The Farnham Programming Space (FPS) offers a variety of educational, social, and interactive events for all residential students.
From our Residence Hall Association body meetings to the Coffee House/Open Mic Night, there are countless events in the FPS for students' enjoyment. When there is not a scheduled event, the FPS offers quiet study hours for residential students, a place to meet new people, a place to relax, or a place to simply watch TV.
