Akin Hall

Akin houses 65 students on two floors in primarily double occupancy rooms.

The residents of Akin say that the advantages of this hall include its large comfortable rooms, its location on campus, and the sense of community provided by the people who choose to live here.

The rooms are recently carpeted and contain walk-in closets and new movable furniture. Each floor has a large lounge and kitchen.

In the main lounge, you can often find students chatting around a cozy fire, cooking delicious food, or playing the grand piano. A basement game room provides residents with a number of additional entertainment opportunities.

As Lewis & Clark's Multicultural Themed Community, Akin's mission is to create a celebratory and supportive environment for students from different backgrounds to learn from one another -- promoting an understanding of ethnic and racial diversity, and of local and international heritages.

Akin residents take advantage of the daily opportunity to honor and explore our exciting and diverse cultural identities.

Akin sponsors a number of diversity-focused programs each year, including the annual Cultural Fair (Fall Term) and International Fair (Spring Term).
