Residence Life Programming and Staff
Our Job is to Make You Feel at Home.
The Office of Residential Life & Housing is here to provide you with a safe, welcoming, and fun residential experience. Our team consists of professional staff members and student resident assistants (RAs) who not only oversee day-to-day operations in our residence halls but also serve as mentors to students of all class levels.
Our four residence halls also host an array of monthly educational, cultural, and social events. These activities—which range from DIY nights to cookouts—connect students to each other and show that learning happens everywhere on campus, not just in the classroom.

“The way Saint Francis approaches being an RA is different from what my friends at other schools experience. Here, we emphasize community building over rule enforcement. We work to make sure all students feel welcome, accepted, and part of the Saint Francis family.”
Emma Bachtel ’23 Marketing and Dance
“Resident assistants work hard to make sure everyone is comfortable and acclimated. Mine helped me during my freshman year and that inspired me to do the same, so now I’m an RA.”
Cassidy Crawford ‘23 Management
“Living on campus as a new student was really helpful—and a lot of fun. I loved it! There are a ton of activities, and I did as many as I could to get involved. The RAs are helpful and always there for support.”

Student Resident Assistants
Every floor of every residence hall is staffed by an RA, an upper-class student with specialized leadership training. In addition to overseeing everyday life in the residence halls, RAs plan activities and events for their residents, ensure compliance with the policies outlined in the student handbook and, in general, serve as a friend and mentor to their peers.
RA positions are part of the larger Saint Francis Student Leadership Program, which offers a unique and unified curriculum to campus leaders.
