Residence Life Receives 2023 Program of the Year Award

"We don't just say 'Home at the Hall,' we purposefully create it through our intentional interactions, community-building events, and commitment to the holistic development of each student in our residential community."

So says Kendra Sherman, assistant director of residence life at Seton Hall University in New Jersey.

Sherman was one of four members of the department recently honored by the university with the 2023 Division of Student Services Program of the Year Award for their efforts to make students feel at home on campus, NJ.com reports.

"I think the most rewarding part of working in Residence Life is the fact that you never know when you might be making a difference," Sherman says.

"Every once in a while, a student will share how grateful they are that you answered their question, walked them to Counseling & Psychological Services (CAPS), provided a listening ear, etc....

These instances remind me that the impact I am making might not be visible to me all the time, but I am positively contributing to the community on campus and helping students on their journey."
