Welcome to Residence Life

2 www.stmarytx.edu/reslife

The St. Mary’s University Office of Residence Life is a department in the

Student Development division, and its mission is shaped by Marianist

traditions. Our residence halls are communities that help you develop

life skills and a sense of personal responsibility. The halls also serve as

transitional environments to future roles and service to society.

Shaped by Marianist Traditions The Marianist family includes members of the Society of Mary, the Daughters of Mary Immaculate, and various communities of lay men and women. Shaping students according to Marianist traditions means educating them as individuals; fostering awareness of personal values and moral responsibility; invoking a dialogical family spirit; and creating a community of faith.

Residence Halls are CommunitiesResidence halls provide physical environments in which communities can grow. Within the Marianist tradition, a community is viewed as an extended family. The community within the residence halls offers a variety of different relationships among various populations. The St. Mary’s community includes and is supported by staff, faculty, administrators, family and friends. Respect for individual differences and an understanding of diversity are key elements in the development of community in the residence halls at St. Mary’s University.

Developing Life Skills and Personal ResponsibilityLiving on campus provides many opportunities to discover and develop one’s own gifts and talents. The Residence Life staff works with residents to cultivate these gifts and talents into life skills. Residents will face challenges of personal responsibility as they mature into independent adults. The residence halls provide a challenging yet supportive environment for resident development and growth, embracing the University’s academic mission to create students who are intellectual and critical thinkers.

Transitional Environments to Future Roles and Service to SocietyThe residence halls act as a foundation to a life beyond St. Mary’s University. Residents will discover a variety of leadership opportunities that will become essential for future roles. Involvement in service experiences offered to residents will enable them to become integral, contributing members of society.

Resident Assistants (RAs)

RAs are student leaders selected and trained on a variety of topics to help residents in their transitions through college. They are there to assist residents with their needs, plan community-building programs and help enforce community-living policies. RAs are mentors, resources, and friends for residents that live and go to school along side them.

Community Coordinators (CCs)

CCs are student leaders hired because of their direct experience with the themed community or living learning community they are assigned. They live with their community and work closely with faculty and staff to develop the program and plan activities related to a topic area. CCs also provide a variety of activities to help with the formation and development of the community, and are tasked with keeping community members up to date with programs.

Getting Involved in Your Hall The Residence Hall Association (RHA) is an organization that represents the voice of each resident living on campus. RHA promotes the welfare and skill development of students by providing opportunities for students to implement campus programs and activities, be elected to legislative positions, and attend various University workshops and conferences across the state and nation. RHA also sponsors programs and activities requested by residents.

Community service activities, contests, movie nights and leadership seminars are just a few of the programs you can expect.Hall Councils are the representative bodies for your hall or residential area. Each hall has a governing council that meets regularly and works in conjunction with RHA. Ask your RA how you can get involved as an officer or member of your Hall Council. Hall Councils discuss policies, hall improvements, and community-building activities.

There are no dormitories at

St. Mary’s University!

A dormitory is defined as a large room in which

many people sleep. At St. Mary’s, we use the term

residence halls to talk about the buildings in which

our students live. We believe that the hall is a

student’s “home away from home,” and that the

concept of a dwelling captures the feeling better

than a dormitory.
