The University is committed to providing a quality residential experience in a Christ-centered environment that encourages the personal development of students. The residence life experience provides students with the opportunities to:
- Pursue their academic goals
- Test their judgment and reflect on their behavior
- Evaluate information regarding contemporary issues in light of scriptural principles
- Develop interpersonal skills through cooperative living in a community setting
- Identify university resources and receive assistance from appropriate personnel
- Develop quality relationships
- Develop acceptance, understanding, and appreciation for diverse cultural backgrounds
- Assess attitudes, values, interests, and goals so that appropriate choices can be made
- Know and integrate scripture with all areas of life
Resident Directors (RDs) and Resident Coordinators (RCs) are full-time University staff members whose chief task is to facilitate community life in the residence facilities. They are available for informal counseling and seek to build and strengthen the personal development and interpersonal relations among resident students.
Each RD works to ensure that VUSC residence living will be a pleasant and meaningful experience. The Director of Residence Life supervises the RDs.
