Last Week for the

Fall 2025 Residential Feedback Survey

Throughout last Fall term, our dedicated residential staff along with the Residence Hall Association (RHA) worked tirelessly to create a vibrant, engaging and safe living experience for each of you. From the Welcome Back BBQ at the beginning of September to weekly community engagement initiatives, we hope that you’ve enjoyed the various opportunities aimed at fostering a sense of belonging and connection within our on-campus community.  

Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we are eager to hear about your experiences from the Fall 2025 semester. To gather your thoughts, we kindly request you participate in a brief survey that will help us identify areas of improvement and tailor our offerings to better suit your needs. Your input will help shape the upcoming Spring semester’s initiatives, and we are committed to creating an environment that aligns with your expectations. 

Please take a few moments to complete the survey by Friday, January 23rd to give us time to review and implement residential initiatives.

Thank you, once again, for being an integral part of our on-campus community.
