当看到bwin体育的大学社区时，居住生活的工作人员是不容忽视的. 课堂之外的大学生活是一个完全不同于学术的世界，对学生的成功起着至关重要的作用. Your community matters. 住宿生活的工作人员对bwin体育bwin体育的社区有相当大的影响，许多工作人员分享了他们看到住宿生活影响的经验.
Kelsey Murphy, Director of Residence 生活, 说, “Some of our most intimate, 深刻而有意义的对话发生在与他人生活的背景下……bwin体育相信上帝用它来了解bwin体育，照顾bwin体育, in the context of His people. We believe that college and, more specifically, our residence halls can be a place where people feel known, 在家里, and as though they belong because of how well others know them.” Living with other people can be difficult, 但它促使学生“为他人着想”和“关心更大的社区”.”
She continued, “[住宿生活]挑战学生在冲突和逆境中面对彼此，因为这些都是bwin体育离开大学后将跟随bwin体育的'真实世界'的事情. bwin体育相信，通过艰苦的对话和沟通，bwin体育在关系中面临的挑战, bwin体育更多地了解了bwin体育自己，以及bwin体育如何关心和爱自己以外的人.“bwin体育看到学生们在宿舍里共同成长最多. 与与你不同的人生活和互动有时是具有挑战性的, but that is why the Residence 生活 staff is so important.
Some of the Residence Directors also shared their experience. Kevin Donaldson, Resident Director of Young Hall, 说, Res 生活的主要目的是热爱学生和社区. In the background, bwin体育一直在祈祷，并向人们伸出援手，希望将他们与整个社区联系起来. bwin体育只是想做个好邻居，像主呼召bwin体育做的那样爱护居民. We also are trying new things each year to achieve that goal, like many new events in Young Hall, 最终希望学生们能够自己为社区创造活动.”
Eryn Davis, Resident Director, seems to agree with Kevin. “bwin体育居住生活的一部分美丽之处在于，允许bwin体育建立反映主呼召bwin体育的团契的社区. 这意味着bwin体育在生命资源方面的工作不仅要注重执行社区标准，而且要通过健康的挑战和一致性来相互磨砺. 对我来说，在基督教高等教育工作中，装备和召唤RAs参与文化创造工作是最好的部分——因为我知道这项工作不仅仅局限于他们的大学经历, 而是这些学生将如何在他们的余生中培养和影响他们的社区. 住在宿舍里的房子把bwin体育带回到主的呼召，叫bwin体育住在他里面. That is pretty amazing if you ask me.” Residence 生活 staff work diligently to build a lifelong, Christ-centered community here at Geneva College.
住宿助理也有一个承诺，通过他们的工作与住宿生活建立一个荣耀神的社区. Some of them chose to share their experiences. Ryan Eisenhuth, currently in his third year as an RA in Young Hall, 分享一些鼓励社区建设的有影响力的事件. “Res 生活做了很多事情来在bwin体育校园建立社区. 任何社区的一个重要方面是提供娱乐和结识新朋友的机会. bwin体育Res生活团队在这方面做得很好，赞助和策划了整个学期各种规模的活动. The largest is Covey Cup, 哪个是宿舍之间的友好比赛，以获得乐趣并鼓励每个宿舍内的团队合作. There are also plenty of smaller events, such as movie nights, game nights, 篝火, and more that are hosted by RAs throughout the semester. At each event, bwin体育优先为每个大厅里的人创造有目的的互动环境.“Ryan非常关心他所有的住院医生，喜欢与他们互动，建立个人关系.
Ethan Smith, a second-year RA in Memorial Hall, 说, “我认为Res 生活的优势之一是，在学生参与方面，RAs是一个非常多元化的团队. They are typically involved on campus beyond just being an RA. Some play a sport, some are heavily involved in the classroom, and some engage with the community of Beaver Falls, 但他们都致力于保护和维持bwin体育的社区. Every RA has a different sphere of influence, 但他们通过为生命资源服务的重量和回报而团结在一起. Because of this, bwin体育有一个学生网络，居民可以寻求支持和鼓励, prayerfully, is done in a biblical manner.”
居住生活在bwin体育bwin体育王国社区的发展中起着关键作用. 学生在课堂内外都得到了全面的照顾，以推动他们在一生的使命中茁壮成长.
