The Susquehanna University Project House System comprises 14 student-initiated projects involving community service. Each project is a student undertaking which involves ten or more individuals who commit two to four hours of their time a week. Since 1976, over 241,100 hours of service have been volunteered in response to the needs on campus and in the surrounding communities. The Project House System is available to any Susquehanna University student with a 2.0 grade point average or better. A formal selection process, which includes a written proposal and a group interview, takes place each year.
Students request the privilege of living together in an approved project.
Selected groups live in University-owned houses, Shobert Hall, and Seibert Hall, an elegantly restored building which is on the National Register of Historic Places. The combination of group living and a commitment to volunteer community service provides the type of learning experience that allows students to grow and develop.
