Mission Statement
Students in University Residences enhance their Western Experience in diverse and inclusive communities that foster active learning, leadership, social responsibility, civic engagement, and effective citizenship: supported by a high quality, attractive and sustainable campus environment.
The mission statement intentionally begins with the word "student" to reflect the student centered experience in the residential communities. Diverse and inclusive communities support the University's commitment to increasing campus diversity as a foundation for active learning that is inclusive and comprehensive. The student experience is complimented and enhanced with a residential environment that is attractive, has high quality maintenance, and models sustainable practices.
"The thing I like most about living on campus is the fact that I'm right in the middle of everything and there are so many people around me at all times. I'm constantly meeting new people"
