Residential Living

Learning Goals and Outcomes

Residential Living is organized around the idea that learning happens beyond the classroom. In order to make this learning intentional and meaningful, we developed learning goals and outcomes to guide the residential experience. These outcomes drive the creation of learning opportunities and engagement that happens between residents and staff members throughout each residence hall. 

Resilience

    Well-being directly impacts your academic, personal, and professional success. By engaging in self-care strategies, you will maintain healthy habits for life.
