Housing & Residence Life

The staff is responsible for managing the daily operations of Housing and Residence Life, which includes overseeing the housing contract process, room assignments, and maintaining the overall condition of the residence halls. Additionally, they focus on creating a safe, inclusive, and engaging living environment that fosters a sense of community and provides students with a comfortable home away from home
The Residence Life team consists mainly of Student Staff, including, Community Assistants and Work Study as well as Community Directors (CDs) and Graduate Assistants (GAs), who live alongside the residents. They play a vital role in organizing programs for their floors/communities, assisting students with roommate conflicts, and ensuring that residence hall policies are upheld.
