Ways to Get Involved
One of the many reasons to live on campus is to get to know more people around and to start to build some leadership skills. There are a variety of ways to get involved in the Residence Halls. Keep reading below to find out more!
Become a Floor Leader
Each floor will have a group of students that assist in creating a strong, dynamic community. They help their Community Advisor with programs, bulletin boards, and community building. They are also asked to join in on a number of all campus volunteer opportunities. This is a fantastic way to learn more about the other residents on your floor and get more involved on campus!

We have 4 different student staff positions available in the Residence Halls. We usually hire students in the Spring Semester for the next academic year, but will post information on this page when we are getting ready to hire new staff! In order to take on one of the positions in the Residence Halls, you must live on campus for the duration of your employment.
