The on campus choice
Housing & Residence Life stresses a successful first-year experience. The Vandal Edge Program encourages students to attend one cultural event and one social justice event to get connected to the University. During the first semester students commit to one-on-one meetings with their hall Resident Assistant.
Succeed Academically The Student Success Program is dedicated to helping students succeed academically. Study rooms, dedicated peer mentors and two full time professional staff ensure our residents achieve success.
Students are also encouraged to give back and become active members of the community. Tower residents participate in the Tower Trick or Treat. They decorate their halls and hand out candy to 300+ Moscow families. Paint the Palouse is another community service initiative that benefits families in Moscow each year.
