Spring Quarter

CORE Spring Breakaway

In upholding Eleanor Roosevelt's legacy of international service, the ERC student organization CORE (Community Outreach Effort) plans, organizes and fundraises for a number of its members to attend an alternative spring break service project. Students who attend CORE's Spring Breakaway experience a life-changing opportunity as they serve communities abroad and develop lasting friendships with their team members. CORE Spring Breakaway began in Spring 1999 when an ERC student pioneered the way for a self-organized trip to the Philippines with Habitat for Humanity. Ever since, students have traveled to Russia, the Dominican Republic,  Costa Rica, Peru and Guatemala through CORE's Spring Breakaway.

ERC Annual Semiformal

The ERC Semiformal is probably one of the college's longest standing tradition events, having taken place every year since the colleges conception in 1988. The ERC Semiformal has become the gala event of the year as students dress up for a night on the town in San Diego with their friends ...or maybe even their latest crush!

MMW Blowout

Any ERC student will tell you that the Making of the Modern World writing sequence can be quite challenging and rather time consuming, so after six long quarters of writing, reading and hard work, a big celebration is definitely a necessity! Before the end of the school year, second-year students gather to celebrate the completion of MMW as they partake in fun games, lots of food and even a dunk tank with their favorite professors and TAs! Of course, you can't forgot to grab an MMW Blowout t-shirt with the infamous saying "Do it in the road!" (compliments of a video shown every year in MMW1).

Leadership Recognition Banquet

Student life at ERC wouldn't be as exciting as it is without the hard work and dedication of our student leaders and organizations. Each spring, students and staff members gather to honor students who have dedicated so much of their time and energy to Eleanor Roosevelt College. We remember our favorite events of the year and recognize those who have organized them. The college also recognizes senior students who have been an integral part of the ERC community throughout their time at the university.

Senior Brunch

Before heading off to one last round of finals and commencement, ERC seniors gather to remember the incredible journey that they have shared together over the past four years at the Senior Brunch. Outstanding seniors are recognized, memories are shared and a final champagne toast is made to wonderful years that were spent together at Eleanor Roosevelt College!
