Residence Life Team

The Residence Life team is made up of R2s (Resident Resources), Hall Directors, and the Director of Residence Life.

Resident Resources, commonly referred to as R2s, are an integral element to our shared vision. Through intentional community development, R2s cultivate the network of support paramount to achieving safe and accessible environments.

Hall Directors are graduate students who live in the Residence Halls and lead that halls team of R2s in our shared vison of cultivating a safe and accessible environment for everyone. They also serve in the on-call team responding to any student crisis or emergency.
