Residential Life

UCR Residential Life is committed to the development of a safe, inclusive, living and learning community; which holistically fosters academic, social, cultural, and personal growth.

Residential Life Inclusion Statement

UCR Department of Residential Life works diligently to validate the experiences and presence of all people. We recognize that our community members have an array of knowledge and experiences, which contribute to the development of individuals within our department, residential communities, and the campus as a whole. We encourage every community member to educate themselves on these differences, through engagement in our various programs and practices.

We are committed to fostering an environment that is aligned with the UCR Principles of Community, which encourages critical thought and conversations on topics of diversity, inclusion, and social justice. Through this we strive to create inclusive, safe, and uplifting communities for students, staff, and faculty by incorporating practices that challenge outdated perspectives on diversity, inclusion, and social justice. We seek to create a space where each community member feels they can be their authentic self by validating their lived experiences and intersectional identities while empowering them to live their truth.
