The Office of Residence Life

Stevenson University is committed to developing a residential community that supports the mission and values of the University. To this end, student housing is provided as an added educational facet of college life. The Residence Life staff promote opportunities for residents to actively participate in living environments that support and enhance personal and academic growth. As a liaison between students and other University offices and departments, Residence Life staff provide education with respect to housing and social adjustment issues, and assists students in building a community that is safe, clean, and well-maintained so that students may concentrate on their educational pursuits.

The mission of the department is to work with residents to learn to:

  • Share living space with others
  • Communicate and compromise
  • Develop respect for self and others, including differences
  • Make responsible decisions to prepare for a successful future
  • Be a successful and active member of the residential community

Staff

The Residence Life staff consists of an Associate Dean/Director of Residence Life, a Director of Housing Operations, Resident Directors, and Resident Assistants.

Resident Assistants (RAs) are student leaders who live in the buildings to help make your experience in housing the best it can be. They are carefully selected and specially trained to help in case of emergencies, roommate issues, or concerns. Each RA also plans at least one event per month.

Resident Directors (RDs) are full-time professional, live-in staff members who hold bachelor's or master's degrees.  Resident Directors assist with problems, supervise RAs, encourage student development, and advise the Residence Hall Association.

Residence Life staff members are on call every night during the regular academic year. For a schedule of who is on call and how to contact them, visit the RA and RD Duty Calendar online. This information is also posted on a bulletin board on each floor of the buildings.

For more information on the staff and their specific roles, visit our RA information page and staff page.
