The IUP Office of Housing, Residential Living, and Dining is pleased to announce the start of this year's Best Dressed Room Contest! On-campus residents should send us a picture of their room and get a chance to win some great prizes and show off their style and creativity. This year, we have a new category, "Fall Dcor, Lighting, or Fandom."
