Our Team

The Campus Living & Residential Education (CLRE) team is a group of passionate and student-centered professionals dedicated to supporting students’ learning through fostering vibrant residential communities.  Through the services we provide, including on-campus housing facilities, residential programs, and student leadership opportunities, we seek to create opportunities to engage in meaningful connections, continue self-discovery, and become responsible leaders in local and global communities. Our residential programs promote learning and development in our five educational focus areas: 

  • Well-being
  • Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
  • Student Behavior and Conflict
  • Connections
  • Student and Personal Success

Mission, Vision, & Values 

Our Mission: CLRE supports all aspects of residential living; creating safe, supportive, and inclusive communities where all residents can feel at home. 


Our Vision: CLRE will establish a premier and innovative residential experience that sparks vibrant communities, cultivates lifelong connections, promotes self-discovery, develops global leaders, and fosters an affinity for GW.

 

Our Values:  CLRE is committed to embodying our values through our programs, services, and interactions with the GW community. Our values include:

Belonging

Our team actively, intentionally, and continuously promotes a sense of belonging for our students.  Our residential experiences are designed to build robust communities and create opportunities for meaningful relationships.  We will cultivate an on-campus community that sparks students’ desire to engage with one another, as well as the larger GW and DC communities.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

We celebrate the wide range of identities, perspectives, and lived experiences in our communities.  We work through multiple perspectives, while balancing the interests of the individual and community.  We are willing to disrupt conventional  or convenient practices and perspectives to create more equitable and student-centered experiences for all residents.

Innovation

Learning

We are committed to promoting and supporting students’ academic endeavors as well as holistic learning and growth beyond the classroom.  We will prioritize opportunities for experiential learning through our services, programs, and campus collaborations.

Student-Centered Philosophy

We prioritize a holistic student experience in each of our services and practices by providing support and motivation to help students reach their greatest potential.  Our students serve as vital leaders in our community and help to drive our initiatives.  Our residential experience promotes empowerment, collaboration, and personal responsibility for all community members.
