The Residence Life team creates an environment in which residents can focus on a vision for their future by offering experiences to celebrate the final years at CWRU and prepare for life after graduation. Students' paths are increasingly divergent and require unique, tailored support as individual students. Resources and mentors come from a large variety of sources, including academic departments, colleges or schools, student organizations, Post-Graduate Planning, and Residence Life. Upperclass Resident Assistants continue to provide support, guidance, and peer mentorship through a residential lens.
