Residence Life

Welcome Home!

Learn to thrive and honor God through community with your peers. Residence Life pursues five themes: Student Engagement, Academic Success, Inclusion and Belonging, Life after College, and Self-Care and Wellness. We also stand on 5 Pillars which are Jesus, Neighbor, Community, Discipleship, and Accountability.

Living on campus provides experiences that include making new friends, facing new challenges, and developing memories that will last you a lifetime. Living within the campus community is an important aspect of a student’s personal development and education. Research continues to demonstrate that students who live on campus benefit in a number of ways. In fact, students who live on campus beyond their freshman year*:

• Are more likely to persist and graduate
• Gain more interpersonal contacts with faculty and peers
• Experience greater personal growth and development
• Have higher academic engagement and grade point average
• Have higher social-interpersonal engagement
• Participate more in out-of-class activities
• Have more positive and inclusive attitudes and openness to diversity
• Find more satisfaction with their undergraduate experience
