About Residence Life

The Office of Residence Life is located in The Hut. Students may contact this office concerning room assignments, hall openings and closings, and other information related to living on campus. The department also houses several opportunities for student involvement and leadership, including the Resident Assistant staff (RAs) and the Desk Receptionist.

The Residence Program provides full-time students with a convenient and comfortable place to live while pursuing their educational goals. Specifically the College provides clean living quarters, ample furniture, and relaxing lounge space for students whose homes are not in commuting distance, and for those full-time students interested in the educational and developmental experience gained by living with other students.

Mission

“To provide a positive learning environment that will enhance and support learning, personal growth, and encourage active citizenship within the residential community through educational, social, leadership, and service opportunities.”
