-Summit Suites East, also known as [[fred_pfeil_community_project_the_fred|the Fred]], is unique in that in order to live there, students must submit an application. The dorm's goal is to create non-exclusive, alternative events every Friday. The events are open to all students and have included board game nights, movie screenings, fashion shows, ping pong tournaments, and baking. The dorm gets its name from English and Film Studies professor, Fred Pfeil, who died in 2005 after a long battle with cancer. Professor Pfeil's "pursuit of open-mindedness and intellectualism" is honored through this project.
