WELCOME HOME LYNX!
The Office of Residence Life oversees all aspects of life in the residence halls. Our goal is to educate residents through experiential learning, and we encourage productive, successful community members by providing appropriate challenges, guidance, and support. We celebrate differences, balance, and personal dignity.
To accomplish our mission, we:
- Provide a safe and secure residence hall environment for all students.
- Offer a climate that celebrates diversity by bringing students together in a community where differences are respected and where the common goal is learning.
- Create an atmosphere of civility, where self-responsibility and mutual respect are not only encouraged, but expected.
- Hire and develop a staff of student leaders who are committed to the education and development of their peers and themselves.
- Offer educational and social programming that furthers the building of community and enriches the overall student experience.
- Continually define and refine how we operate to meet the needs of the students we serve
The Office of Residential Life is available Monday – Friday from 8:30 a.m. – 5 p.m. CST. Emails will be answered during this time. A 24/7 on-call team remains available for emergencies for students residing on campus.
