Office of Residence Life

We work to build an on-campus community that fosters personal growth, teamwork and offers an opportunity for students to enjoy creative social, educational and cultural programs.

Each year, we welcome thousands of CWRU students to live and work alongside us. In recent years, we’ve tasked ourselves with overcoming unique challenges and disrupting the dynamics of an ongoing pandemic while supporting a larger residential community than ever before!

44 Residence Halls, with approx. 4300 undergraduates!

15 Full-Time Staff Members (Central Staff and RCDs)

16 Graduate-Level Staff Members (ARCDs + GRDs)

104 Undergraduate Staff Members (RAs & Student Workers)

 

Vision

Residence Life strives to create a residential community that is more than just a place to rest your head; we strive to create an environment that bridges living and learning, to build a community that celebrates the individual, and to foster an experience that makes CWRU home.


Mission

Residence Life builds community, provides resources, and invests in collaborative relationships across campus. By partnering with students, we support them personally, socially, and academically as they learn and explore.


Educational Priority

By engaging in a residential experience that bridges living and learning, students will become curious individuals who embrace challenges and shape communities.
