Cassens' Cup

Cassens’ Cup is a program sponsored by Resident Students’ Association (RSA) to encourage a strong sense of residence hall community and campus involvement.  The competition originated in 1981 and is named after Ms. Cynthia Cassens, the Director of Residence Life.  By developing this spirited competition, RSA has had great success in getting the residential students at Winthrop involved in and excited about their college experience. 

The Cassens' Cup program is overseen by the Vice President of Order & Tradition. If you have questions, please feel free to call the RSA office at extension 3508.

How do I participate?

By recording the activities that you and your floor-mates participate in, your floor gains points. As you can see from the Cassens’ Cup Scoring System posting, there are many ways that you can help earn points for your floor.

How Is My Floor’s Score Determined?

We add the total points for your floor, divide by the number of residents living on your floor as of the beginning of the contest, and then multiply by 100. We feel this makes each floor able to compete equally. We have created three divisions that create competitions between the various hall styles, giving everyone an opportunity to win The Cassens’ Cup.
