Residential Life-East Falls Campus

Living on campus is an integral part of the Thomas Jefferson University 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. To accomplish the mission and vision we share with the Division of Student Life, we make decisions through the lens of our office’s Core Values, which include:

• Inclusion. We aim to listen to, support and empower our residents, ensuring that all people feel welcome and safe in our residential communities. As an office eager to put students first, we value respect, compassion, benevolence, community, and belonging.
• Innovation. We seek to be creative and to commit to growth and excellence. We remain adaptable to meet the needs of our students and campus.
• Integrity. We strive to be accountable to our community and to make collaborative, ethical and equitable decisions.
