Residential Life-East Falls Campus
Welcome
Living on campus is an integral part of the Jefferson experience. Recognizing that students spend a majority of their time outside of the classroom, the Office of Residential Life - East Falls Campus strives to create an environment in which each student is afforded an opportunity to develop as an individual in an atmosphere that encourages emotional and intellectual growth. Resident Directors (RDs), Resident Assistants (RAs), and Resident Assistant Mentors (RAMs) provide leadership, support and guidance for our residents in our upper-class residence halls on Main Campus and our first-year residence halls on Ravenhill Campus.
The Office of Residential Life is a part of the Division of Student Life at the East Falls campus. The Division of Student Life's mission is to create a supportive environment to educate students on advocacy, integrity, empathy, and inclusion; equipping them to have a positive impact on their communities. The Division of Student Life's vision is to be a community of practitioners that exemplify and cultivate holistic well-being. Residential Life strives to ensure that all students, regardless of their identities and backgrounds, feel welcome and safe in our residence halls. We encourage participation by underrepresented groups in our activities and programs.
