The Residential Life staff consists of a dedicated team of people striving to build community, provide resources, manage housing related concerns, and keep college residences safe and supported. They work through the lens of Residential Education, such that educating students on how to live safely and well in a shared community of which they are all equally part is the main focus. Through this, Residential Life teaches and reinforces essential life skills, like agency and accountability, and helps prepare students to live, thrive, and drive change in a rapidly evolving world.
