The Office for Student Development is committed to providing students with a residential experience that enhances and extends the educational mission of the University. At Eastern we view the residential experience as a powerful component of our campus community.
While living in community at Eastern University, you are likely to meet people who are different than you. Eastern University, as stated in our mission, seeks to "treat each member of the campus community with fairness, dignity, and respect, seeking a spirit of unity and harmony.”
The residential environment at Eastern University is supported and influenced by each individual student, as well as the residence life staff, made up by Resident Assistants (RAs) and Resident Directors (RDs). Through the residential community, students are invited to foster connections among one another, make life-long friendships, and come to understand what it means to belong to a Christ-centered community.
