About Us

The Office of Residence Life & Housing is committed to promoting student growth in on-campus living.

We provide a safe and comfortable environment where resident students are provided the opportunity to extend their learning beyond the classroom.
We help students navigate housing options, room assignments, and living together.
We support students as they transition to independent living by cultivating communities in which students are known, cared about, and connected to the community in which they live.
We rely on student cooperation to enable us to provide clean, comfortable, and secure residence halls.
We endeavor to facilitate an environment respectful of diversity which promotes morally responsible independent living.
We engage residents in intellectual inquiry, social responsibility, and cultural dialogues. Living together in residence halls, students experiment with advocating and expressing their thoughts, opinions, wants, and needs, while listening deeply and negotiating with others. As a result, students develop confidence, live more authentically, and are empowered to act according to their values and virtues.
