As a residential campus, HWS’ residence halls, apartments and small houses provide opportunities for meaningful connections and academic enrichment.
Under the coordination of the Director of Community Values and Wellness Programs, the Office of Campus Life supports the holistic student experience by educating students about behavioral choices and community expectations, and working with students when those choices may come into conflict with the expectations of the community.
Working with Campus Safety, Campus Life ensures proper investigation and resolution of any alleged violations of the Community Standards that may be reported. In addition, Campus Life offers non-conduct related programs, such as conflict resolution and mediation.
