Housing and Residential Experience provides a comprehensive program for students living in University undergraduate housing, including those in the West End Neighborhood. In partnership with faculty and staff from across the University, Housing and Residential Experience professionals work to build learning communities where values of scholarship and leadership are nurtured in a culture of collegiality. Residential Experience staff foster interactions among students and faculty and support students’ scholarly pursuits and personal growth. Values of civility, belonging, accountability, discovery, and celebration are at work in Vanderbilt’s residential community.
Housing and Residential Experience employs a compassionate group of upper-division, graduate, and professional students as Resident Advisers (RAs), Head Residents (HRs), and Graduate Area Coordinators (GACs). Professional, in-residence staff supervise the aforenoted paraprofessional staff. The collective Residential Experience staff, in cooperation with Residential Colleges and other campus partners, organizes and coordinates social, educational, and recreational programs throughout the residences.
