Residence Life at Lesley University
The residential experience at Lesley complements the academic experience by providing a living/learning environment that facilitates the development and education of the whole person.
The Residence Life Staff fosters an environment where diverse perspectives are appreciated and each student is respected. This is achieved through one-on-one connections as well as through various programming initiatives. Resident students are encouraged to plan and participate in residence hall programs and activities, which helps to cultivate their sense of community while gaining valuable learning experience. The Assistant Director and Resident Directors live on campus and supervise the Community Advisor Staff. They also serve as liaisons, resources, and mentors for Community Advisor Staff and for students residing in the residence halls.
As student leaders, Community Advisors fulfill many roles including that of mentor, peer advisor, and ambassador for the residents. One of the goals of the Community Advisor is to achieve a true sense of community. Living within this community, Community Advisors are expected to conduct themselves in accordance with the Community Standards of Conduct and with the University mission statement, the foundations for University Life.
The Residence Life Staff strives to provide excellent customer service with respect to housing and social adjustment issues. Students learn from each other and through staff support and mediation the importance of communication, respect for self and others, making responsible decisions, and being a successful, active member of our community.
