Faculty & Staff Request for Group Housing

The LUCC Residence Life Committee is looking for faculty or staff interested in being a voting member of the group housing process.

Those who are voting committee members would ensure that the group housing process is fair and equal to all groups applying. This is a commitment that lasts only as long as the housing selection process (March 8, 9 a.m.-1 p.m.; subject to change).

There are currently two positions open for applicants. You may not apply if you are an advisor for any student org that is already within the group houses or is considering group housing.

Applications will be accepted until March 5 at 11:59 p.m. If you are interested, please reach out to Antonia Lagunilla, co-chair of the LUCC Res Life Committee (antonia.lagunilla@lawrence.edu).
