Mission
Our Core Philosophies
Belonging
We are dedicated to creating an environment within Michigan Housing where every individual feels supported and connected. Our focus is on nurturing a community where everyone feels welcomed and empowered to thrive.
Developing Community
Our Residential Education team co-creates intentional plans to develop positive, inclusive communities. Our plans are supervised and regularly reviewed to ensure that our residence hall communities grow in strength and trust.
- Get to know every resident well.
- Help residents get to know each other.
- Listen to the needs of the community.
- Develop activities to support the community’s needs.
- Help residents take ownership for contributing to their community.
Community Guidelines
When you enroll, you are agreeing to U-M’s Statement of Student Rights and Responsibilities and when you sign your contract with us, you are agreeing to the Community Living At Michigan (CLAM) standards and University Housing’s policies and procedures. Because these provide the backbone of our community philosophies, and because you will be held accountable to them, we encourage you to read the CLAM.
Restorative practices
As community members, it’s vital for us to understand the impact and responsibility we hold within our community. When harm occurs, whether through our actions or by other ways, we acknowledge it and actively engage in efforts to restore and heal our shared connections.
