The mission of the Residential Life and Housing Office at SUNYIT is to provide a residential experience which enables all students to enhance their educational and social opportunities through interaction with faculty, professional and support staff, and peers. The Residential Life and Housing staff is committed to a safe, healthy and attractive living/learning environment that supports the academic mission of SUNYIT.

Our mission is accomplished by promoting healthy, safe, and inclusive communities where individual members are valued and respected, fostering personal growth and success through meaningful one on one relationships with our live in staff members, and challenging our resident students to making meaningful and responsible contributions to campus life. The department is administered by the Director of Residential Life & Housing and our buildings are staffed by full time professionals who provide guidance and support to the student staff and the resident students.  The student staff in Residential Life includes Resident Advisors and Residential Office Assistants who serve as mentors and sources of information to assist students in making their SUNYIT experience a positive and successful one.
