Residence Life Programming and Staff
Our Job is to Make You Feel at Home.
The Office of Residential Life & Housing is here to provide you with a safe, welcoming, and fun residential experience. Our team consists of professional staff members and student resident assistants (RAs) who not only oversee day-to-day operations in our residence halls but also serve as mentors to students of all class levels.
Our four residence halls also host an array of monthly educational, cultural, and social events. These activities—which range from DIY nights to cookouts—connect students to each other and show that learning happens everywhere on campus, not just in the classroom.

“I’m an RA, and I really enjoy the position. I like the responsibility of helping students and seeing them grow over time. I meet them on the first day and I remind them that I’m here to help. They can knock on my door any time.”
Paul Scheifele ’27 Sports Management
“I work as an RA on campus. I was inspired to do it because I wanted to help first-year students get acclimated. I like the sense of community that I can help create. We’re all away from home and it’s not easy at first, so we take care of each other.”
Takya Wallace ’28 Marketing
“I work as an RA on campus. I like working with people and helping them. The most important thing as an RA is to know my community, to know the people on my floor and to be the first contact for them with any issues.”
Marvin Wehmeyer ’27 Business Administration
“Going to Saint Francis has been the best experience of my life. I’m involved in a lot on campus—as a softball player, RA, and Orientation leader—and it has pushed me in new directions. I’ve also grown in my faith and I love the fact that my friends and I go to Sunday mass together.”
Ashley Childress ’25 Enviromental Science, Biology Pre-Vet
Student Resident Assistants
Every floor of every residence hall is staffed by an RA, an upper-class student with specialized leadership training. In addition to overseeing everyday life in the residence halls, RAs plan activities and events for their residents, ensure compliance with the policies outlined in the student handbook and, in general, serve as a friend and mentor to their peers.
RA positions are part of the larger Saint Francis Student Leadership Program, which offers a unique and unified curriculum to campus leaders.
