Residence

Residence students have the opportunity to be involved in leadership on campus from day one through Residence Action Council, a student governing body comprised of elected representatives from each community in Residence. RAC members plan building and campus wide events and consult with Residence and Dining staff throughout the year.

Upper-Year students may wish to get involved as a Residence Life Staff (RLS) member. These students are trained to provide support and resources for the residence community. Hiring for the Residence Life Staff (RLS) happens every January for the next academic year. Residence also hires students to work at the service desks.

Within residence and campus, various student groups, clubs and committees, and volunteer opportunities exist to provide ways for students to get involved as much or as little as they desire.
