REMIX (REsident organized MIX)

RE-MIX differs from AP House’s MIX Program in the respect that RE-MIX events are planned and run by residents themselves. Residents will design and implement events based on 8 dimensions of wellness with the aim of providing opportunities for exchange between residents and the chance for deeper involvement in dormitory management and residential education.

We encourage those who have not ever implemented an event before to take on the challenge. AP House Office will support you with publicity activities and subsidies for your event.
