Mission and Guiding Principles

Mission of Residence Life

We develop living environments to enhance the academic mission of UWL through creating inclusive communities, supporting experiential learning, and building meaningful relationships. We are student-centered, we care, and we have fun!

Guiding Principles

  • We enthusiastically believe living on campus enhances each student's college experience.
  • Undergraduate students are our central focus and student input guides our decision making.
  • Inclusivity is intertwined throughout our work and we continue to educate, while improving our cultural humility. 
  • Ensuring safe, clean, and visually appealing residence halls with timely response to repairs and facility improvements is a foundational component in meeting our students' needs.
  • We demonstrate responsible fiscal management and good stewardship of student monies.
  • Our ability to support and develop student leaders is enhanced by our collaborative partnerships with professionals from across campus.
  • We strive for radical hospitality. We work hard to provide outstanding service to our students during the academic year and our conference guests in the summer.
  • Our processes and systems of service are organized, efficient, and effective.
  • Our staff, in all positions, add value to our department. They are respected, their identities are embraced, and they are empowered to be creative, and therefore flourish, in their positions.
