About ResEd
Residential Education can be described in many different ways. However, the most important thing to remember is that Residential Education is about the people it serves! From providing programming in the residences to community engagement, ResEd oversees a myriad of opportunities for both the student body, as well as for the professional university staff by bringing both groups together to engage in the development of intellectual, educational and community building policies, programs, and activities.



We are concerned with the experience of individual residents and how to best serve each of them given the diversity and complexity of each experience.
