Meet Our Team
2011-2012 Residence Life Team
Consisting of a Director, Assistant Director, 3 Area Coordinators (AC), 16 Resident Assistants (RA), and 3 Sophomore Advisors (SA), the Residence Life team maintains one of the lowest resident-staff ratios in the country to ensure personal attention is given to each student.

Before the beginning of each Fall semester, team members participate in a intensive two-week training program focused on areas such as conflict resolution, roommate mediation, community development, diversity, crisis intervention, first aid, and CPR. Training in the Spring allows for teammates to continue those important training conversations and evaluate the needs of residents throughout the rest of the year.

At least two team members are on-call each night when the office is closed and 24 hours on the weekends. The Guinan front desk is also staffed 24 hours daily, when classes are in session. Whether it is creating a fun event, handling a crisis situation, or addressing a minor maintenance concern, the Residence Life team is always prepared to assist our residents.

"One of the greatest parts of my position as Director is seeing each of my students come into the halls as residents with great potential and leaving as strong leaders ready to affect the world. We have an amazing duty here in the residence halls to affect the spiritual and intellectual journeys of our residents and I am truly blessed to take on that responsiblity. Thank you for allowing our team to be a part of your student's growth."

“ Students who chose to live on campus will experience a vibrant UST community! I am amazed as I walk through our Residence Halls by the warm smiles between friends and the amazing relationships our student build with faculty, staff, and clergy. Residence Life is committed to not only providing a place where students can lay their heads, but the ability to experience a living and learning community where they achieve success in the classroom and make a impact in their communities.”
