Residential Programs provides many forums and outlets for community building, raising awareness, challenging our residents, and supporting students in their academic endeavors. These events are conducted by the Resident Advisors (student staff) and Residence Hall Directors (professional staff) who live in the building.

In Residential Programs we intend to foster growth and learning opportunities for all community members. We strive to provide events and services in which all persons can participate fully. Please contact us with feedback or questions through the appropriate staff member listed below, or in the central office at (607) 255-5533,
