           Dear  Residents,
           The Office of Residence Life is looking  forward to welcoming residents back to campus housing for the Spring semester  and continuing to partner with students to make their experience in the  residence halls safe and engaging.
           Welcome Back  ¹ú²úÂé¶¹ Flyers
             One of the most exciting and memorable aspects  of the ¹ú²úÂé¶¹ experience is the opportunity to live within the residence halls.  Many studies indicate that students who reside on a college campus, on average,  earn higher grades, are more likely to continue in college, and are more likely  to graduate within four years. Living on campus places you at the heart of the  ¹ú²úÂé¶¹ Community, giving you the opportunity to take an active role in both  academic and co-curricular activities. Our students will attest that making the  decision to live in the residence halls was the right choice; they feel they  have become part of a community, and see friendships being made that will last  a lifetime.
             Our goal within Residence Life is to support  the Lasallian Mission of the University, we create living communities that  celebrate diversity, foster respect, and facilitate leadership development,  while providing a wide variety of experiences and activities.  Living on  campus allows you to interact with people who come from various backgrounds,  whose experiences, values and priorities may be different than your own. Our  residence halls at ¹ú²úÂé¶¹ create a supportive environment where there  is an appreciation of individual differences and a respect for individual  rights. We are proud of our diversity at ¹ú²úÂé¶¹ and we hope you take advantage  of it as well!
           Here in the Office of Residence Life, we aim  to enhance your educational experience.  We strive to create a safe,  interactive living and learning environment developed through building a sense  of community while promoting an atmosphere that emphasizes diversity,  leadership, and opportunities.  Each residence hall provides a unique  living experience with Residence Life Staff presenting various programs and  activities throughout the semester all while nurturing the unique needs of each  individual student.
           If we can be of any assistance to you, or  answer any questions, please do not hesitate to visit our office, Monday  through Friday, 8:30am-5:00pm, located on the ground floor of The LRC or  contact us at 815-836-5581. We can also be reached via email at reslife@lewisu.edu
