Our Goals
• To provide personal support for the individual student.
• To provide a sense of belonging within the housing
community and Fresno State through providing and
supporting social, recreational, athletic, and cultural
programming.
• To maintain a sense of community and an academically
supportive environment by establishing limits.
• To provide student leadership and training opportunities.
• To promote an atmosphere that is conducive to creating
an appreciation, understanding, and acceptance
of individual differences and lifestyles regardless of
socioeconomic status, physical abilities, race, ethnicity,
sexual orientation, religion, age, gender identity, learning
styles, life experiences, or political affiliation.
• To encourage retention of residents and to develop
student growth through providing services and
educational programs which challenge and support
our residents. To also support Fresno State services and
programs which do the same.
The Residential Life program at Fresno State Student Housing is one of the many reasons to live on-campus. Our staff
is here to both challenge and support our students on their journeys. Our staff offers over 300 events a year that give
students the opportunity to interact, have fun, learn, and develop relationships.
It is our hope that our students get involved with their community, succeed academically, and find opportunities to learn
both in and out of the classroom. Research indicates that students who live on-campus for even just one year are more
likely to complete their degrees in four years and achieve a higher grade point average than students who never live on-
campus. Our staff is here to help students be successful, have fun, and enjoy the college experience.
