Our Vision
Our dynamic residential experience produces proud USF alumni and engaged global citizens.
Our Mission
We are dedicated to creating safe and welcoming residential communities that promote student success.
Motto
Best place to live. Best place to work. Best place to learn.
Educational Priority
At the conclusion of the residential experience, students will be holistically well, interpersonally skilled, academically engaged, and self-aware to make a positive societal impact
Commitment to Community
Housing & Residential Education employs a Residential Curriculum to provide a holistic learning experience. The Residential Curriculum supports the development of residents into global citizens who are socially, culturally and personally responsible, and academically and professionally prepared. At the conclusion of the residential experience, students will be global citizens who are holistically well, interpersonally competent and academically engaged. This means that you as a resident play a vital role in creating an environment that will help USF students grow and succeed at the university.
Commitment to Diversity
Housing & Residential Education promotes healthy living and learning environments within our inclusive community and does not discriminate on the basis of a person’s race, color, gender, religion, creed, national origin, disability, marital status, disabled veteran status, or sexual orientation. We strive to create a supportive and constructive environment in which everyone feels free and comfortable to contribute to the community. This can only be accomplished when multicultural understanding exists. To experience growth, we must allow ourselves to incorporate new perspectives into our framework, despite the discomfort this may initially cause. With this in mind, Housing & Residential Education will provide opportunities for you to share your experiences, values and beliefs, and to hear
the same from others. In turn, we ask that you work with us to create a safe, supportive environment that will allow assumptions, biases, and prejudices to be identified and challenged.
Disability and Accommodations
For reasonable accommodations within the living environment or at programs, please visit the Housing webpage for assistance in applying or discussing any accommodation requests.
