We work to build an on-campus community that fosters personal growth, teamwork and offers an opportunity for students to enjoy creative social, educational and cultural programs. Each year, we welcome thousands of CWRU students to live and work alongside us. In recent years, we've tasked ourselves with overcoming unique challenges and disrupting the dynamics of an ongoing pandemic while supporting a larger residential community than ever before!
MISSION
Residence Life builds community, provides resources, and invests in collaborative relationships across campus. By partnering with students, we support them personally, socially, and academically as they learn and explore.
VISION
Residence Life strives to create a residential community that is more than just a place to rest your head; we strive to create an environment that bridges living and learning, to build a community that celebrates the individual, and to foster an experience that makes CWRU home.
EDUCATIONAL PRIORITY
By engaging in a residential experience that bridges living and learning, students will become curious individuals who embrace challenges and shape communities.
1. Relationships are the core of our community.
2. Learning occurs in our residential communities, and our work is to shape and influence that learning.
3. Policies, procedures, and facilities are essential to creating this learning environment.
4. Be excellent. Expect excellence and strive for it. Mistakes are the steps on the path to excellence.
5. We're all in this together.
First Year Experience strives to help each student establish a foundation for future success at Case Western Reserve University through four Residential communities.
The Second Year Experience program provides students with an environment to explore new or deeper avenues for career and personal plans. This involves living with their cohort in the South Residential Village or "South Side"
The Upperclass and Graduating Senior Experiences take the personal vision developed by the end of the second year and help form it into reality.
The Independent Living Experience allows residents the opportunity to increase their independence while retaining the assistance that on-campus living provides. This concentrates predominantly on the individual apartment experience more than the community as a whole.
