Residence Life - Services

Student Support
Holy Family employs a team of student-life professionals charged with serving the best interests of students. For many students, the college experience is a time of growth and change, and the student-life team is here to offer support throughout this exciting and challenging time by providing guidance and advice - or by simply lending an understanding ear.

The Director of Residence Life leads the residence-life program, develops policies and procedures governing residence life, and administers disciplinary sanctions. The Assistant Directors of Residence Life, as residents of St. Joseph Hall, the Garden Residence, and the Duplexes, serve as role models for student residents while assisting the Director, overseeing programming and housing, and offering student support.

Student resident advisors, commonly known as RA’s, are highly trained undergraduates who monitor the residence facilities and ensure that all residents are following the University's policies and procedures. The professional staff and student RA’s also serve on a rotating schedule of on-duty shifts to ensure that either a professional staff member or student RA is always available in the event of an emergency - or if a student simply needs to talk.

Security
Holy Family is committed to providing a safe and nurturing environment. The Northeast Philadelphia Campus is patrolled by University Security Officers 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Additionally, a security desk monitors access to St. Joseph Hall around the clock. Each floor in the residence hall has an emergency telephone that dials directly to the University Security Command Center, where Security Officers receive emergency calls and monitor alarms for the entire campus.

Food Service
