Residence Life
- The Department of Residence Life provides a warm, lively community for students, who continually choose to come back to live on campus — even after they are able to move off campus. The number of returning students goes up each year.
- The department’s Community Outreach Initiative is a special program that invites community members into residence halls to teach about their personal interests or hobbies.
- Student staff members in Residence Life gain valuable leadership skills, which they can then add to their Co-Curricular Transcripts to be shared with future prospective employers.
- The Communities at New Paltz program provides seven unique living-learning communities for first-year students. Participants live in residence halls where half of the students are first-year students who share courses in common during the fall semester.
- The department’s student-run educational programs and staff members continually win regional and national awards, and many resident assistants have also gone on to win the ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ Chancellor’s Award for Excellence. The department has also hosted regional conferences focusing on leadership development.
