Ijaz reflects on how the spontaneous decision to try a new sport, Dodgeball, has shaped his experience at RC4: "This sport has been one of the reasons why my stay in RC4 so far has been beyond spectacular and makes it clear why it’s more than just a sport; it’s my happiness."

RC4 is not just a place for STEM-focused events and classes - here, we celebrate our diverse and multi-talented community. From Arts Night to Chamber Classics, there are a plethora of platforms for both experienced and beginner students to develop and showcase their artistic interests. At the start of the semester, RC4 residents were treated to a night of captivating performances by their professors and peers - from the masterful classical pieces of Chopin and Beethoven, to fan favourites from Studio Ghibli and The Wizard of Oz!

The Residential Colleges Teaching Awards are held annually to honour faculty members who showcase excellence in teaching. These awards highlight the commitment of educators to foster learning environments that extend beyond the traditional classroom. Dr. Cindy Fu, a fellow at Residential College 4, was recently recognised with the RC Early Career Teaching Award. We spoke to Dr. Fu to gain some insights into her experiences and approach to teaching.

Year 1 student Don Han is the third RC4 resident in his family, adding a layer of connection and continuity to his experience here. After hearing numerous fun stories from his brother and cousin's time here here, their experiences have shaped the way he approached this new chapter in his life at RC4.

The year 2024 marks a momentous milestone for Residential College 4 (RC4) as it celebrates a decade of fostering community and innovation.
