| has gloss | eng: Prudence Risley Residential College for the Creative and Performing Arts, commonly known as Risley Residential College, Risley Hall, or just Risley, is a program house (themed residence hall) at Cornell University. Unlike most other traditional dormitories on campus, Risley is a residential college, meaning that the house members, "Risleyites," have some say in the administration of the residence hall, can continue to reside there as long as they are enrolled at Cornell, are encouraged to eat together at the in-house dining hall, and participate in educational activities, such as guest lectures, within their dormitory. For this reason, Risleyites are generally seen as one of the closest knit groups of students on campus. The building houses 192 students who are chosen from applications by current Risleyites, and two Artists-In-Residence ("AIRs"), who live in the building and organize regular programs in which the house members participate. |
