What we do

Composed of full-time professional staff and student leaders, the Residence Life team creates and fosters inclusive residential spaces that support personal growth, as well as learning away from the studio and classroom. We emphasize knowledge of and care for self, and encourage active community engagement and a social justice mindset, making on-campus living an essential part of your development as a responsible creative individual. 

Whether you’re locked out of your hall, not feeling well late at night or are looking for guidance about interpersonal issues, we’re here to provide a support system you can count on, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
