The Office of Residential Life is responsible for overseeing the daily operations and activities within the residential areas, which houses more than 1500 students in sixteen residence halls, suites, apartments, and townhouse complexes. The staff is comprised of the Assistant Dean of Residential Life and Community Standards, the Assistant Director of Residential Life, and six Resident Directors (full-time professionals responsible for the supervision of the area), and fifty-seven Resident Assistants (students who assist the resident directors in their responsibilities). Together they work to ensure that on-campus living will be an enjoyable, safe, inclusive, and educational experience. The Office provides a variety of administrative, referral, and programming functions. Residential Life works to create a community-oriented environment that maximizes a person’s potential for academic and co-curricular development. The Office looks to students to provide the enthusiasm and commitment to help us achieve a positive learning atmosphere within our University community. In collaboration with Campus Ministry, the Office of Residential Life administers the Peer Ministry program, which provides an opportunity for student leaders to participate in the work of faith development among our students and to grow in their own faith. The Office of Residential Life is located on the first floor of Salisbury Hall. Additional housing options include:
