The positioning of RC is as our hall motto states, ‘Liberty with Responsibility, Unity in Diversity’. We believe that our hallmates decide for themselves what their position between liberty and responsibility is and choose their own paths. The intellectual process of learning is important for the growth of a university student. As an active hallmate, you learn a lot from the close-knitted community in our hall through communicating with different people while thriving for the same goals. Hall life is fundamentally a process of give and take. Ultimately, it’s up to you to choose where you stand.

Moreover, we believe that diversity doesn’t limit our ability to give. We hope that the diversity can encourage hallmates to explore new things and give them liberty to choose their own path to give. Regardless of our backgrounds, we are united to be ‘RC guys’ and give back to the community at RC Lee Hall and the greater community.
