Welcome from Chris!

Chris 
 
Hello Southern Poly!  My name is Chris Bruno and I am finishing my first week as Director of Housing and Residence Life here on campus.  I'm very excited to be here at Southern Poly.  I was born and raised in Atlanta but completed my Bachelor's and Master's degrees at Clemson University in Clemson, SC.  I have been working in Housing for the past decade and I am extremely happy to join the great Housing staff here on campus.  I hope your experience on-campus is a positive one and I'm looking forward to hopefully improving the on-campus experience here at SPSU.  I am looking forward to meeting all of the Southern Poly students.  Once I get settled in you will see me attending SPSU sporting events, student activities & housing programs.  You also will likely see me walking around campus or playing ball with my son Stephen.  Please come by my office and say hello when you have the chance.  Thank you again and I look forward to serving all of you as Director of Housing.  See you soon!
