Apartment Representatives
Apartment Representatives are paraprofessional student staff members who facilitate community in our On Campus Apartments and FIRS married housing. Each Apartment Rep goes through intensive training to prepare them to serve the Upper Campus Community. They coordinate events that allow students to meet their neighbors and enjoy fellowship as well as maintain a presence in the upper campus community room and provide a general framework of support for each resident.

Why be a Building Rep? I transferred into NU and understand how difficult it is to feel like you’re part of a community. Moving to a new place is a tough thing to go through. And I want to help create an atmosphere and events that will draw people together and encourage relationships to form.

Favorite animal: A dog because they’re man’s bestfriend! They make really good company, they know exactly how you feel and respond in a caring way, and they know how to have fun!
The ideal superpower: The ability to read people’s thoughts. Only selectively though, sometimes I dont’ want to know what people are thinking!
Why be a Building Rep? I am all for a sense of COMMUNITY. I believe God has placed every one of us in this Christ-centered COMMUNITY for a specific reason, and I want to do my part to help create an atmosphere of fun.
