Residence Life Journal

Philosophy of the Residence Life Program

The expressed purpose of the Residence Life Program here at Thaddeus Stevens

College of Technology is to foster self-development, good citizenship and democratic principles. These goals are accomplished through acquisition of decision-making skills on the part of the student and through emulation and promotion of values inclusive of respect to fellow students, honesty and the involvement of students in the residence hall governing structure.

The Residence Life Program also seeks to create an environment of understanding and appreciation for the values of students from diverse

backgrounds. It is through the development of this kind of sensitivity that students grow personally, which impacts directly on other program purposes of citizenship and emulation of democratic principles as set forth in the College’s mission and purpose.

The purpose of the Residence Life Journal is to provide a newsletter that centers around

the Residence Life Program. The journal is informative, educational and strives to promote the overall mission of the college within a residence life setting and to the benefit of the campus community at large.

“One of the most glorious messes in the world, is the mess created in the living room on Christmas Day. Don’t clean it up too quickly.”

~Andy Rooney~Savor the moment…Dr. Bob Cooper

What does Christmas smell like to you?“A mix of pine, cinnamon, cookies, fruit cake and hot chocolate.” (Dr. Bob Cooper)“Freshly baked cookies, cedar trees, peppermint candy and holly.” (Abby Cook)“Cookies, pumpkin pie, hot apple cider and cinnamon pinecones.” (Allison Peck)“Hot chocolate, candy canes, apple spice, gingerbread.” (Mike Brady)
