Residential Life at the University of Washington offers a unique student affairs experience in housing. We believe a healthy work culture that supports the members of our unit is vital to the work that we do to support the student experience, and thus we strive to for a work environment where we each feel valued, supported and respected, and encourage work-life balance. The culture we aspire to within Residential Life is one that is rooted in our values of accountability, collaboration, growth, inclusion and intentionality. Aligning our work with these values allows us to ensure every resident living in our communities has a rich residential experience rooted in student support while encouraging our staff to cultivate unique and versatile professional experiences:
Housing & Food Services (HFS) plays a critical role at the University of Washington for thousands of students who live and dine on campus. While there are many ways our students craft their Husky Experience, living in residence can’t help but shape that experience as positive, developmental, and transformational. The caliber of staff we employ is the difference maker in this endeavor! The talent, knowledge, and sophistication of our team members aligns with the high expectations and the quality of work you will find across our great university. The University of Washington is proud to graduate and send out into the world well-rounded and highly educated people who make a difference in the lives of others in so many ways. HFS prides itself on being a highly collaborative, balanced, and productive department. Our position within the University and our status as self-sustaining means we must be informed and deliberate decision makers, creative problem solvers, and compassionate colleagues and advisors. Those who choose to work with us find an engaging organizational culture situated in a world-class university surrounded by a robust cultural, social, and environmentally astute community. I am honored to be a part of this organization and everyday find great joy and satisfaction in working with all of our team members, including and especially our Resident Directors. Our RDs allow us to deliver on our mission day in and day out; their work is critically important to our success and their ability to function as active partners in serving our students is a hallmark of the position.

At the University of Washington, diversity is integral to our mission. We are dedicated to creating and fostering the conditions that support learning and develop character. This happens best in an environment that is free of all forms of discrimination and when all members of our community feel included, regardless of their identity, their area of study or scholarship, or their social, political or religious views. Put simply: No matter who you are, where you’re from, whom you love, where or whether you worship, or any other aspect of your identity, we welcome all contributions that help the University of Washington maintain its commitment to access and excellence, to building a better and more equitable future, and creating a world of good. All of us at the University of Washington, including Residential Life staff, must work to realize our shared values. Resident Directors, together with their Resident Adviser staff and student leaders, are uniquely positioned to build inclusive spaces and create transformative experiences for many UW students who call our residential communities home. We are unwavering in our resolve to provide a diverse and welcoming campus and we hope you will take this opportunity to join us. Regards,
