Since my freshman year here at Lee, I have wanted to be a Resident Director. I believe being in this role is a unique way to provide holistic care to students, no matter what they are walking through in their college years. As an RD, my goal is to see each student as the unique and special person God has made them to be, and to support them and love them as such. It is such a gift to provide intentional community and spaces for self-growth within the walls of Keeble-Dirksen, to challenge students as they grow and prepare them to navigate the complex world we live in today.

I love being able to sit with students in the big moments, but I also find so much joy to sit with them in the little things and getting to know them throughout the year. It is my prayer that each person in Keeble-Dirksen knows they belong, exactly as they are. It is a joy to get to be in the lives of these college students as they learn who they are and who God has called them to be. It is a gift to work so closely with students, and I cannot wait for the year ahead!

New Students

New students are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, once the following criteria have been met:

• Acceptance to Lee University
• Completion of a Residence Hall application
• Payment of the housing reservation deposit

New students will receive an email after submitting their housing application with instructions on how to request a roommate.

Students interested in on-campus housing must complete a Residence Hall Application through the online housing portal, as well as pay the $200 housing deposit. This deposit is required to reserve a housing assignment for the first semester on-campus. In subsequent semesters, it will be held as a roll-over deposit. When a student graduates, moves off-campus or leaves the University, the deposit will be applied (within sixty days after residence halls close of the applicable semester) to the student’s account to cover any unpaid balance or a refund will be issued.

New students who paid the deposit but no longer plan on attending are eligible to receive a deposit refund at their request. To request this, the Housing Deposit Refund form must be submitted by the deadlines listed on the form.

Priority for housing assignments is based on the date of the completed application and deposit. Residence Hall assignments will be sent via email in February, April, May - July for the Fall semester and in November for the Spring semester. The University is not able to guarantee assignment requests. However, every request is given the best possible consideration.

Returning Students

Returning students participate in the Advanced Housing Placement process to reserve a residence hall assignment for each academic year.

Summer housing is available to an eligible group of students on-campus. If you need summer housing, please contact our Coordinator of Housing for assistance.

Tharp Hall is located at the heart of campus on the Pedestrian Mall. Residents enjoy close proximity to classroom buildings, the Deacon Jones Dining Hall, and the Paul Conn Student Union. Four students occupy a two-bedroom suite with a shared bathroom. The bathrooms include a toilet and a combination bathtub-shower. Each bedroom has two extra-long twin beds, two desks with chairs, two to three closets, and a sink/vanity. Each floor of this three-story building has its own coin/card-operated laundry facility and a TV lounge area complete with furniture, a television, and a community kitchen. The community kitchens are equipped with a refrigerator, a microwave, and a stove/oven. A unique feature of Tharp Hall is that it is connected by a hallway to Nora Chambers and Simmons Hall.

Residence life had a huge impact on my life during my undergrad years and helped me learn about how to live in and cultivate a healthy community. As an RD, my vision for students is that they would flourish in who God has made them and in their callings to serve the Lord. I pray students feel they belong and are valued. I am excited and humbled to walk alongside students during such a formative time in their lives.

Storms Hall is an apartment-style residence hall located next to the intramural fields. This hall features two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartments with an open-concept living room, and kitchen area, and its own heating and air unit. The kitchen comes complete with a refrigerator, stove/oven, microwave, and cabinet space. There is an extended countertop in the kitchen with bar stools to serve as an eating area. Residents must provide their own living room furniture and kitchen supplies. The bedrooms are equipped with two extra-long twin beds, two desks with chairs, two chests of drawers, and a large closet. At the residents’ own expense, a local cable company can be contacted for cable services. Coin/card-operated laundry facilities and lounges are located on the second and third floors, with a community cable television available in the third floor lounge.

Residential Life and Housing has left an enduring legacy in my life, shaping who I am both personally and spiritually. From serving as a Floor Leader, to a Resident Chaplain, and now as a Resident Director, each role has stretched and refined me in meaningful ways. Through these experiences, I discovered that home is not a place, but a community build through connection, care, and belonging.

As a Resident Director, my goal is to walk alongside students as they navigate this season of life at Lee, celebrating their victories, supporting them through challenges, and encouraging growth academically, emotionally, and spiritually. I pray that students experience a true sense of home within the walls of Storms Hall and Brinsfield Row Female Townhomes. I am truly excited to walk with them and hear their stories.

Simmons Hall is conveniently located on the Pedestrian Mall next to the Deacon Jones Dining Hall. Residents enjoy close proximity to classroom buildings, the Science and Math Complex, and the DeVos Student Recreation Complex. Each bedroom contains two extra-long twin beds, two chests of drawers, two desks with chairs, two closets, and a sink/vanity. Students have access to a furnished TV lounge and community kitchen on each floor. The kitchen is equipped with a refrigerator, microwave, and a stove/oven, and cabinet space. Renovated community bathrooms and showers, along with coin/card-operated laundry facilities, are also located on each floor. A unique feature of Simmons Hall is that it is connected by a hallway to Nora Chambers and Tharp Hall.

The three-story building includes TV lounges on each hall, prayer rooms, and two main lounges on the first floor that include a television, vending machines, a sink and cabinet space, a stove/oven, a full size refrigerator/freezer, and a microwave. In addition, the first floors of Sharp-Davis include a lounge area complete with couches, tables and chairs, and a television. Two coin/card-operated laundry facilities are located on the first floors. Four students occupy a two-bedroom suite with a shared bathroom. The bathroom contains a double-sink, toilet stall, and standup shower. Every bedroom has two extra-long twin beds, two desks with chairs, two chests of drawers, and two closets.

I’m so excited to be back on a campus, serving as a Resident Director and be a small part of what God is doing in the lives of the young women here. It’s my joy and goal to walk alongside students during this formative season—celebrating their growth, praying through challenges, and building a community marked by grace, laughter, and belonging just as I was given during my undergrad at Trevecca Nazarene University.

My heart is full of hope for all that God will do in our halls this year, and I’m honored to help create a space where women feel known, safe, and deeply loved during their time here at Lee. I believe God has beautiful things ahead, and I can’t wait to see how He moves in and through each of the students.
