| Summer Housing Recap | |
We are so excited for the return of students this fall! This past summer, the staff in the Residential Life and Housing office put on our "conferencing/hotel manager" caps and have been busy providing housing to a diverse group of guests. It has been our pleasure to welcome alumni, long-term summer renters, Grandma's Marathon athletes, students from Russia, high-school Upward Bound / Upward Bound Math Science participants, and seminarians (just to name a few). In addition to this, we also provided summer housing to CSS students in Pine, Maple and Willow Hall (and really appreciate their patience and flexibility with our summer housing program).
As we transition back to our mission-centered work of providing a vibrant living and learning environment for all students, we are busy cleaning rooms, painting halls and finalizing housing assignments. Please remember you can check your OneStop page in Cor for any updates (however, we will still do our best to communicate changes to through email).

| Res Life Learning Outcomes |
The Office of Residential Life and Housing has identified learning outcomes for students who actively participate in a communal learning environment. Identifying learning outcomes for residential students provide direction and intention to the work of our profes- sional and student staff. Our efforts and programs are designed to provide students opportunities for personal development and growth. Specifically, residents who live on campus students will be able to: - Develop effective communication skills for interpersonal relationships.
- Apply critical thinking skills to their personal lives.
- Examine their individual identity through the identification of personal/professional/social/academic goals and values.
- Articulate the importance of living in a multi-faith, multicultural community.

Check-in Policies
| |
Upon your moving into your residence room, your RA will complete an inventory form describing the condition of the facility. You will be asked to read and sign this form, and when you move out of your room or apart- ment the facility is reevaluated. This is to protect you from being charged for damages which occurred prior to your occupancy. The College expects you to leave your housing in the same condition as you found it. Residents will be held financially responsible for repairs other than normal depreciation.
