Vision and Mission

Vision

The Office of Housing & Residential Education at the University of La Verne will be known as the best college student housing program in the region. Housing & Residential Education will respect differences of all students by valuing everyone's diversity. Our fully trained staff will be committed to developing students as leaders, community conscious individuals, and caring adults. While living in student housing, students will grow as individuals by developing relationships, learning responsibility, and participating in educational social programs. The opportunities available to students living in student housing will compliment their academic experiences.

As Housing & Residential Education achieves its vision, students will constantly be at the center of what we do. We will offer cutting-edge, technologically based accommodations that will benefit all students. In concert with other University departments, we will provide a healthy, safe, and clean environment for living and learning. Housing & Residential Education will represent to the campus and surrounding communities the essence of the University of La Verne, which in turn will provide positive outcomes for the University. By choosing to live in student housing, students will develop life-long relationships with the La Verne family. Housing & Residential Education will be the pride of the entire community and the place to be!
