Meet the Staff
Student Housing Team
Our caring Student Housing and Residential Life team is made up of both student (resident advisors, front desk assistants, and summer housing assistants) and full-time professional staff. Together, we work closely with on and off-campus partners to support the students and guests we serve in Hunter Hall. From 24-hour safety and crisis response to connecting students to their campus community, we are here to help ensure our students are able to Live, Learn, and Engage at UHCL.
