RAs plan social activities from day one that provide opportunities for you to get acquainted and make new friends. You will find our Resident staff to be friendly and helpful when you have questions or need assistance, and should a problem arise, they are here to help you resolve it.
We are proud to introduce our Resident staff for the 2023-2024 academic year:

I look forward to getting to know everyone, and helping you find things you love around campus!
