ResLife Staff

be community...serve community...

Who are we?

We are...

...people who are passionate about community.

Here's what we mean.  Each ResLife staff member meets each week with his/her mentoring supervisor to discuss floor issues and, well, anything really. Each staff team also meets every week for support, information sharing, and time together.  Every staff member is also IN twice each week - they are available to students from 8 pm-11 pm for, well, anything really.  We're here for you!

Oh yeah, and we like food and tea and coffee.

We are...

...people who care about others.

ResLife staff members care for students!  It's who we are.  We work hard to notice students' struggles, talk and pray with our mentoring supervisors about them, and help our residents struggle in healthy ways.  We're here to listen.  We're here to help.  And if we can't, we'll find someone who can!

 


We are...

...people who are learning and growing.

Why else go to college if not to grow?  ResLife staff is not only here to facilitate growth, but to do a little growing of our own. 


We are...

...a little crazy.

 

This picture says it all! (or will whenever I find a good picture ;) )



We are...

...looking for people who fit.

If you're interested in a leadership and ministry position on campus, ResLife may be a good fit for you!  If you're interested, ask your RA and HD or RD what ResLife is like. 

Early each spring semester ResLife selects staff for the following year.  You can see how the process works by visiting the RA Selection page.

Get Involved! 

Consider applying to be an RA!

 

Who's IN tonight?

From 8-11pm you can find this person somewhere in your hall.  He or she would love to hang out!
