It is the responsibility of Residential Life staff to educate residents through positive, personal contact,  maintain the residential facilities and conduct health and safety checks in residential rooms intermittently throughout the semester to identify health and safety issues in a timely way.

If concerns or issues are found in your room, you will receive notification via email. Please review the email and follow the instructions for correcting the issues in advance of a reinspection. Failure to correct the issues by the reinspection date, outlined in the email, may result in Student Conduct Action. 

If you have questions about these inspections, please contact your RA or Community Director.

B.A. INDS: Educational Psychology and Entrepreneurship
Degree Mentors:
Why did you choose to major in INDS?
I have a passion for helping students with learning differences reach their full potential. My goal is to open a school for students with learning differences. When looking for majors  I was looking for a college degree that would not only teach me how to be a great teacher but also give me the know-how to run my own school. That's when I found Individualized Study (INDS). It's perfect for me. It allowed me to tailor make the perfect degree for me. I'm excited to turn my dream into a reality with the help of this program.

What are your plans for after graduation, and how do you see using your INDS degree?
I plan on receiving my masters in educational therapy and then after working as an educational therapist opening a school for students with learning differences. My INDS degree provided me with the necessary foundation for my future plans. 

Extracurricular
I revived the Zainab Damji Memorial Scholarship. I also teach 4th and 5th grade at Torah Academy of Minneapolis.
