Mission Statements:

Housing and Residential Education:

In alignment with Rowing Not Drifting this office’s central mission is to equip students with the tools to engage in the transformative power of personal relationships and communities. We work with students, families, and our campus community to create a sense of home through intentional programming, one on one interactions, and serving as a connection point for students to campus resources. Through a social justice lens and experiential learning, we empower students to grow, learn, lead, and achieve.
