Students

The Day One residence is unlike any other on campus. Housed together in the newly renovated Cresswell Hall, Day One students experience a true sense of community which quickly facilitates long-lasting relationships-a cornerstone in any leadership initiative. Students form in-house study groups, fostering discussion and student development. Specially-trained resident advisors assist Day One students in their transition to college and help them become involved both on campus and in their community.

The first job of a leader is to serve others.
