Members of the residence life staff at Cumberland University will:

  • Support a safe and comfortable living environment where all students are recognized and valued

  • Test students to discover more about themselves and others through introspection, examining personal values, personal beliefs, and their awareness of issues surrounding them

  • Empower students to pursue personal growth while making being active in the community and providing service to the University and local community

  • Encourage the exploration of knowledge, the development of skills, and the understanding of sensitivity and respect as integral parts of the interactions between individuals and groups

  • Produce life experiences and classroom activities in a dynamic environment

Living on campus provides an experience that is more than just a place to sleep, study and watch TV. It is a place where students come and are challenged and changed. Living on campus provides a place where Cumberland memories begin and where the relationships are developed from friendships that last a lifetime.
