Residential Life will provide training and development for student staff in leadership. Qualities such as moral courage, ethical sensitivity, and integrity are fostered in our student leaders where unhurried conversations and the close connections created are valued.
In trainings, supervisory meetings and the course of position duties, critical skills will be taught and reinforced, such as time management, goal setting, budget management, connecting to people, how to challenge themselves by pushing out of their comfort zone and deepen their leadership skills. Residential Life will use its management of the residence halls to provide a safe living environment and educate residents in critical skills such as living and working in a diverse, global community, effective communication skills, community transparency, and responsible management of personal and community spaces.
Residential Life will set and uphold community standards encouraging students to act with integrity, civility, civic responsibility and moral courage. Residential Life will provide training and development for the professional staff.
Professional staff efforts are fundamental to the mission: advocating for students needs and growth both behind scenes, furthering our own education and understanding, and challenging norms and conventions to create a better, more inclusive experience and environment for students. Professional staff will collaborate closely with other staff and offices in addition to leveraging outside resources for the benefit of students. All personal belongings must be removed when a student checks out of the residence halls either for mid-semester withdrawals or the end of academic year.
December transfers and graduates must remove all personal belongings as well. The College is not responsible for any personal property left in the residence halls.
