Programming
The Residence Life Team provides students with programming designed to create community and provide support for academic and life goals. The Resident Assistant team, comprised of 62 RAs, supports each floor or area of our residence halls via resources and programming. The RA team provides one Purpose program a month that residents can attend on their floor to create community. The RA team also provides 2-3 Community Wide programs per month for the entire residence hall community to come together and have a dedicated event. The First Year Experience (FYE) and Second Year Experience (SYE) teams create Area Wide Programming for the respective first year and second year (upperclassman) areas. First Year areas focus on connecting residential engagement with the Univ 1000 academic classes where SYE creates space for students to learn about after college life & professional goals.
