Campus Life Mission & Values

MISSION

The Office of Campus Life encourages students to become democratic citizens, achieve professional success and lead lives of personal meaning and value through a residential education designed to meet their diverse developmental and educational needs.

Promoting Safe, Healthy Student Communities

Campus living is a key to a Millikin student’s experience. First-year students enjoy our Living-Learning Communities and traditional residential environments, while sophomores, juniors and seniors gain independence in our luxury apartment community.

The Office of Campus Life promotes inclusive, safe and healthy student communities. Our learning outcomes include:

• Developing positive communication strategies; • Examining personal values; • Deepening academic pursuits; • Engaging in service; • Demonstrating interdependence; and • Valuing differences.

Campus Life Professional Staff

Campus Life "pro staff" are here to support Millikin’s residential communities. They are full-time, live-in, professional staff members who provide supervision and leadership in the residence halls. These staff members serve as campus resources, educators, counselors and student conduct officers, and they are a part of the on-call emergency response team.

Resident Assistants (RAs)

RAs are here to support each unique residence hall floor by serving as mentors. They are upperclass students who are trained on campus resources, University policies and procedures, conflict resolution and developing activities and programs for their floor.

Peer Mentors

Peer mentors are here to support first-year students. They are upper-class students who live on residence hall floors to assist new students as they adjust to campus, academic life and advising. Peer mentors are supervised by the Center for Academic and Professional Performance (UC 312).
