Welcome to the Community

Our Mission

The staff in the Office of Housing and Residence Life supports academic achievement and student development in a welcoming, safe, and inclusive community.  Residents may participate in a variety of programs, events and activities; develop life-long skills; foster community life; and engage in various aspects of university life. For those seeking off-campus housing, the staff help with navigating the housing search process and provide on-campus resources to acclimate to university life (e.g., dining programs). 

Staff Overview

The Dean of Students, Dean of Students/Director of Conflict Resolution and Community Engagement, Area Coordinators, Coordinator of Housing and Residence Life, Graduate Assistant, Community Advisors, and office student employees make up the Office of Housing and Residence Life. The staff collaborates with various departments to offer events, activities, and programs.

Shared Kuleana (Responsibility)

Campus safety and security at HPU is a shared kuleana. No campus or community is completely free from risk but the best protections against campus crime and to protect student health and safety is an alert, aware, and informed community. Safety depends on each member of the campus community taking the responsibility to protect themselves and others.
