Why did you come to ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ? I had the privilege of working at my undergrad institution for eight years. I started in the Honors College helping with recruitment, first year experience, and spiritual formation. For the last five years, though, I had the best job as a Resident Director for a co-ed, upperclass, apartment space. I love Residence Life because it’s where a conversation about Taylor Swift can transition to building a life post-college or navigating a difficult conversations.  Even though the Lord had made it clear that it was time to move on from being an RD and from IWU, I hoped and prayed I could continue working with RDs, RAs, and in Residence Life. Enter ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ. I was so impressed with the care with which ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ approached Residence Life and care for students. All my interactions with ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ showed me that this was a place I could do the work I love with people who cared deeply about one another and students.
