About Mosaic House:

Mosaic House is a residence hall that seeks to cultivate an environment supportive of all forms of diversity. Mosaic's project is an ongoing attempt to build a foundation of understanding and appreciation among people of various religions, political and economic backgrounds, geographic locations, sexual orientations, and races. A student-initiated and -led organization, Mosaic House's goal is two-fold: to foster a living environment that provides residents with an opportunity to learn about other people's differences in formal and informal settings, and to promote an understanding and appreciation for all types of diversity in the larger community.

Mosaic and the IRC:

". . . .the concept for the IRC was modeled after Mosaic House, which occupies Hoxton House and will be one of the halls included in the IRC. Mosaic House is a small residential community founded by students in 1995, based on cross-cultural learning. While Mosaic House will retain its own mission and applications process, it will also be a part of the IRC. . . ."
