Pre-Spring Break Health & Safety Inspections

Residence Life staff will stop by each residential room to perform our semesterly Health & Safety Inspections between Sunday, March 05 and Thursday, March 09, 2023. While residents do not need to be present, we do prefer at least one resident be present to address any concerns found.

We will address health, safety, security, and maintenance issues during our check.
