OUR DESIRE IS TO ENSURE THAT STUDENTS' LIVING ARRANGEMENTS SUPPORT AND ENHANCE THEIR EDUCATIONAL WORK AND GOALS. WHILE OUR PRIMARY GOAL IS TO PROVIDE SAFE LIVING ENVIRONMENTS CONDUCIVE TO STUDY AND ACADEMIC SUCCESS, WE ENCOURAGE AND SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE FOLLOWING CORE COMPETENCIES IN OUR STUDENTS: DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION; GLOBAL PERSPECTIVES; CIVIC ENGAGEMENT; CITIZENSHIP; SELF-ADVOCACY; PROBLEM-SOLVING; RESPECT FOR OTHERS; AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF IDENTITY, PURPOSE, AND INTEGRITY. WITHIN THE RESIDENCE HALLS AND APARTMENTS, AN ENGAGED TEAM OF PROFESSIONAL AND PARAPROFESSIONAL STAFF USE THE PHYSICAL STRUCTURE OF THE LIVING ENVIRONMENT AS A TOOL TO MAXIMIZE LEARNING MOMENTS AND CHALLENGE STUDENTS TO DEVELOP AND APPLY THESE COMPETENCIES.
