Happy Tuesday everyone! Let's continue our college system exploration. Next up is Eleanor Roosevelt College, aka ERC. ERC College (@ucsdroosevelt) was founded in 1988 and is the fifth of the seven colleges to be established.

From ERC's Provost: "The need for international cooperation and justice seems to become increasingly urgent with each passing year and ERC is proud to help students engage the major challenges of the day, not least of which is the danger that environmental degradation poses to all of us. Our commitment to global social justice is anchored in Making of the Modern World, ERC’s writing program, and amplified by service programs within the US and across the world. "

Some of the ERC traditions include:
-Rock 'n' Roosevelt
Rock 'n' Roosevelt began in 2002 as one of the biggest and best college-based concerts at UCSD. 
-Casino Night
For one night each year Programming at ERC transforms the Great Hall into a casino. Students can play BlackJack, Texas Hold 'Em, Craps and Roulette. There is always food and raffle for prizes as well!
-BAGS (BreakAway Global Service)
Students participate in a Winter Quarter Seminar, preparing them for their upcoming trip, while they organize and fundraise for a number of its members to attend the spring break service project.
