On March 30 at 10 a.m., a breakfast with a scavenger hunt will take place. The breakfast will be served in the Seventh Street Underground of the Union.
"Anyone who lives on campus and has friends or family members who are little kids can attend," said Jenny Kaplan, RHA member and senior biology major.

For the Illinois Residence Hall Association, the next retreat will be held April 11-13.
Brittany Kraft, a sophomore mathematics major, wanted to hold the event at Eastern.
Kraft, the National Communication Coordinator/Illinois Communication Coordinator, said Eastern would not be sponsoring the event because of a lack of interest.
