Student Staff Training
Training and Education
Training is a priority for our Residential Education team to help prepare student staff for success.
As a result of participating in training, student staff will practice and achieve proficiency in our ResX core principles:
- Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion rooted in Cultural Humility
- Community & Belonging
- Health & Well-Being
- Intellectual & Personal Development
Attendance and participation throughout student staff training is a requirement as outlined in your staff agreement.

This includes but is not limited to training prior to the start of your student staff role, and supplemental training sessions throughout the academic year.
