Why did you choose to work at Rutgers Residence Life?

“Residence Life and Student Affairs as a whole, in my opinion, are the heart and soul of any college or university. My goal is to help foster a safe and supportive learning environment outside of the classroom, where students can find their passion and establish healthy relationships with staff and their peers. Rutgers Residence Life strives to support students throughout their time on campus and to help them have a positive experience on campus which leads to a fruitful education. I am more than excited to do my part in supporting students at this great institution and carrying out the “student first” mission of the department.”
