Residence Life

The mission of the Office of Residence Life at Misericordia University is committed to nurturing a community-centered living learning experience which complements and extends the core values of the founding Sisters of Mercy.

Residence Life accomplishes this by:

• Fostering a welcoming environment that emphasizes equity for all students, individual responsibility, mutual respect and integrity.
• Developing creative and purposeful programs that are conducive to academic success, community engagement, and leadership development.
• Empowering students to strive for ongoing personal development through the strengthening of critical thinking and communication skills, ethical decision making and civic awareness.
• Creating a network within the on-campus community in order to connect students to various resources.
• Training and providing the university with a well trained staff of professional and para-professional individuals.
• Partnering with Campus Safety, Facilities and Custodial Services to maintain a safe, clean, attractive and secure living environment.

There are very few jobs at Misericordia as challenging , interesting, and rewarding as that of a Resident Assistant (RA). RAs are an integral part of our Residence Life program. They are paraprofessionals who are required to live within a community and work toward the goals and objectives set forth by the Office of Residence Life. To do so involves energy, self discipline, control and commitment. Among the skills and/or characteristics needed to be an RA are: good judgment, knowledge of self, time management, a sense of humor, flexibility, and the abilities to communicate effectively, work under pressure, and understand the needs of residents. As an RA, you will have endless opportunities for learning new skills, developing a greater respect of self and others, becoming more self-sufficient, and meeting and making new friends.
