Residential Life Staff

In order to reduce the risk of transmission of the Coronavirus (COVID-19),
Professional Residential Life Staff are working standard hours on a hybrid schedule that rotates between being in the office and telecommuting.

Some staff will be working an adjusted schedule for the summer and will be available 8:00am - 4:00pm from May 17 until August 13.
The main office hours for Residential Life will be 8:00am - 4:00pm during this summer timeframe.

Voicemail boxes will be checked regularly while staff work remotely or telecommute, but we strongly encourage contacting staff members via the UConn emails listed below.

General questions can also be sent to livingoncampus@uconn.edu.
