Family
& Graduate Housing Programming
Objectives
"May you live all the days of your life."
--Jonathan Swift
The purpose of the programmatic effort at MSU Family
& Graduate Housing is to provide a sense of community
that supports the academic success and personal wellness of
students and their families. Each semester free and
low-cost programs are offered to meet the varied needs of
residents. FGH Community Assistants help plan these events
and welcome input and suggestions for program ideas.
A Community Assistant (CA) is a resident on-staff to
serve each area of the Family & Graduate Housing
community.
This CA is responsible for a number of tasks promoting
the concept of community in each neighborhood. Some of
these duties include:
- Welcoming new residents
- Assisting with conflict resolution
- Assisting in the development of social, educational,
and wellness activities for youth and adults
- Insuring a safe and secure living environment for
residents
- Reaching out to residents during periods of stress
and turmoil
- Acting as a liaison between residents and the Family
& Graduate Housing Office
- Creating an environment that is conducive to
academics
In addition to special events and programs, Family &
Graduate Housing Community Assistants help coordinate other
programs and services that are on-going throughout the
school year and summer.
Feel free to contact us with any questions or
suggestions!
