HOUSE Liaison

Schilling Hall

  • Housing And Opportunities that are Useful for Students' Excellence (HOUSE) 

     

    The role was created to ensure that students who are experiencing housing insecurity or are students in care (i.e. foster care) have a trusted and accessible connection to the resources, support, and people available across campus. Navigating college comes with questions, challenges, and situations where students may not always know who to contact or where to begin. HOUSE Liaisons help bridge that gap. 

    Our goal is simple: to make campus feel easier to navigate and ensure every student knows they have someone they can turn to.
