Life in Haggerty & Tyson
Haggerty Hall houses the Anchor (a small eatery) and Tyson Hall houses the St. André Bessette, C.S.C., Chapel in which a Mass is said one night each week.
- Oktoberfest: A party, in partnership with the German Club, held in the breezeway of Tyson with German food, drinks, music, and activities. A great emphasis has been placed on creating an atmosphere and environment that respects German culture.
- Christmas Cocktail Party: This event is held the Friday before finals week of fall semester with Champagne and a hot cocoa bar.

Haggerty Hall is named for Lawrence and Mary Ellen Haggerty, parents of Peggy Haggerty, a University regent who passed away in 2010. They provided primary funding for the building's construction. Tyson Hall is named for Rev. David Tyson, C.S.C., the University's 18th president, who oversaw one of the most remarkable growth periods in the University of Portland's history.
