Letter from the Director
Welcome to Temple University’s residence halls. It is our pleasure to have you as a member of our residential community. Our residence halls are a vibrant and exciting part of campus life here. Developing and building communities and respect for the rich diversity that is Temple University is the cornerstone of campus life. The diversity of our staff and student body provides opportunities for personal growth while at Temple University. Our residence hall program is designed to provide you opportunities for cultural, recreational, social, and academic growth. Additionally, there are programs presented that will enable you to develop leadership skills.
Our Residence Hall Senates and the Residence Hall Association are excellent organizations for you to apply your leadership skills to, and develop a positive and productive community environment in your residence hall. Hall staff will be discussing with you the wide range of opportunities available to you while you are living in University Housing. There are approximately 140 registered student organizations for you to choose from to become more involved in campus life.
The staff members who work for Temple University’s Office of University University’s Housing and Residential Life are committed to helping you resolve any concerns which may arise during your time in housing. Our live-in hall staff includes Resident Directors, Resident Coordinators, Resident Assistants, and Community Builder Assistants, and they serve as tremendous resources and have been trained to assist you in a wide variety of situations. Please do not hesitate to contact them or any of our staff in the central office at 1910 Liacouras Walk if you need assistance. We hope that your time with us will be enriching and enjoyable and that we can support you in achieving your goals while here at Temple.
