Residential Education

Education is a collaborative process that involves students, faculty, and staff.  The department’s philosophy is for our students to explore the diverse educational opportunities on campus in order to better understand and appreciate the unique qualities that all of the members of this community offers.  The department is made up of student and professional level staff, including Resident Hall Directors, in order to best serve students.
