what it means to be in meerhoff
We are a residence that firmly believes in Pride, Passion, Heart and Soul! Here we strive to make an enemy out of apathy, something we know there is no room for in our wonderful country. We are a family, a unit that prides itself in the fact that individuality, respect and diversity are to be celebrated. Here is a home for everyone. To conform is NOT the norm! Ultimately Meerhoff's motto puts it best: "To live, to love, to learn, to leave a LEGACY!" During your residence experience you will come to encounter three groups of student leaders that will work hard to ensure your first year is filled with lasting memories, great friends, developmental opportunities, and most importantly, fun. The residence House Committee, your head mentors and the mentors themselves. These fellow students’ aim is to dedicate their next year to making your residence experience the greatest success it can be. From leading floor meetings, running programs, solving conflicts, and listening to your concerns, these three groups of passionate student leaders are committed to supporting you from your first day living in Meerhoff to your last.
For many of you this will be your first time at University and being so far from home for so long. You will find your transition will come with some challenges. Yet, rest assured you have been adopted into a welcoming family here at Meerhoff, one that wishes you to have a successful university experience. Of course, some of the onus will also fall on you; don’t forget to take care of yourself, look out for the well-being of those around you, and treat this building as you would your home.
