I like working with Res Life because it provides a great opportunity to help other people and create lasting relationships. My supervisors are genuine, care about my future, and most importantly care for my health and well-being. In working at the desk, I have referred three of my friends who are now my co-workers and they love every bit of working here, just like me.

I love being on the Residential Life team! The staff and housing directors are always so supportive and kind. I enjoy providing information and assistance to students (current and prospective), parents, and faculty. It has given me an opportunity to make connections and work with many different parts of USD's faculty. It is also always a perk to get some homework or studying done when the desks are less busy!
