More than half of the traditional student body lives in residence halls. An important part of our educational philosophy is that each student should have an opportunity for group living experience. The residence life program is an extension of a student’s total educational experience.

Graduate Residence Director (GRD)

A professional staff member who assists in managing the halls. The GRD is responsible for a student staff of Resident Assistants (RA). These student staff members have assigned areas of responsibility within that building and serve as the most immediate liaison between students and the Residence Life Office.

Resident Assistant (RA)

Each residence hall or floor is assigned a Resident Assistant. Selection is based on the student’s maturity, experience, and interest in building a community conducive to student growth. They function to promote the well-being of our entire on-campus community.

All members of the Resident Assistant Staff complete training programs designed to prepare them to work with students’ personal and interpersonal concerns, group/community development, residence life, campus resources, policies, procedures, and regulations.

We highly recommended that each student gets to know the staff in their residence hall. They are there to serve the residents and respond to their needs.
