Mission Statement

Residential Life & Services — A Safe, Convenient, Community...

The mission is simple: To provide a safe & secure living environment that supports our student's academic and personal success. We accomplish this mission by providing well maintained facilities and excellent customer service.

Our residential community is an inclusive, academic support environment which emphasizes both individual freedom and community responsibility. We seek to foster an environment where students can create bonds that will last them long after their time at university is successfully completed.

Our Professional Staff create an environment that fosters growth and development, particularly related to the outside of the classroom experience.  Full-time cleaning staff support our professionals and manage the day-to-day operations of the program.  We also collaborate with our Facilities Management & Development and University Police Departments to provide safe, secure, and well maintained facilities for our residents.

Two residence halls, located at 811 and 825 New York Avenue, and directly across the street from academic facilities, accommodate up to 400 students. Assignments for the academic year are made at the end of the spring semester. All students are expected to sign a contract for the duration of the academic year. Information regarding procedures and policies for living in the residence halls can be found in the Residential Life and Services Student Handbook.
