Housing and Residence Life’s Call to Action makes the department’s values on diversity, inclusion and equity clear and defines its action plan. Progress updates are posted, including recognition.
Students who choose campus housing are part of active, social communities living in close proximity to dining, classes, campus events and resources. It's easy to make friends, get immersed in college life, and build a foundation for personal success. Through it all, Housing staff is there to ease your transition to college and provide support for any challenges you may face.
