Goal Setting  - Skill Building - Diverse Learning


Residence Life and Services will help you identify and strive to achieve realistic and tangible goals that contribute to your academic success. The residence environment intends to support your academic achievement by offering several dedicated study spaces, encouraging mutual respect among residents, enforcing specified quiet hours, and offering many free programs and services to help you reach your academic potential.  

You will develop self-management, critical thinking, reading, learning, studying, and writing skills that help you balance your course load and recognize the connection between skill building and academic success.
