The Residence Life office is responsible for staffing and programming in the residence halls. Residence Life also works cooperatively with the Facilities Department to keep the halls clean and well maintained. The Residence Life staff promotes a positive community atmosphere in the residence halls and is available to assist residents with their living and learning experiences at the University of Nebraska at Kearney. Residence Life offers a wide range of services to support the academic pursuits of students that live in the halls. Residence Life wants students to be comfortable and safe in their residence hall environment.

The Office of Residence Life has established the following goals to best meet the needs of residents:

1. The Office of Residence Life will provide quality student housing that fosters strong diverse communities through collaboration with campus partners.
2. The Office of Residence Life will strive to maintain a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment that promotes educational experiences, leadership development, and intercultural awareness.
3. The Office of Residence Life will contribute to student retention by providing intentional opportunities for active engagement in preparation for life long success.
4. The Office of Residence Life will continuously develop a thriving educational living environment that will enhance academic learning for students through ongoing assessment and evidence based decision making.

The primary contact for students that live in the residence halls is their Resident Assistant or RA. Each resident has an RA that lives on their floor or wing. The RA is responsible for providing programming activities, maintaining a safe community, and is available to assist residents around the clock. RAs report to a full time or graduate staff member that lives in the community and is also available to assist residents. If residents need any assistance, they should not hesitate to seek out any member of the Residence Life team or stop by the main office, which is located in the lower level of Conrad Hall.
