Residence Life Journal

The expressed purpose of the residence life program here at Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology is to foster self-development, good citi-

zenship, and democratic principles. These goals are accomplished through acquisition of decision-making skills on the part of the

student and through the emulation and promotion of values inclusive of respect for fellow students, honesty and the involvement of students in

the residence hall governing structure.

The residence life program also seeks to create an environment of un-derstanding and

appreciation for the values of students from diverse backgrounds. It is through the

development of this kind of sensitivity that students grow personally, which impacts directly on other program purposes of citizenship and emulation of democratic principles set forth in the College’s mission

and purpose.”

The purpose of the Residence Life Journal is to provide a newsletter that centers

around the Residence Life Program. The journal is informative, educational, and strives to promote the overall mission of the college within a resident life setting and to the

benefit of the campus community at large.

Thaddeus Stevens 220th Birthday Commemoration

On April 13, 2012, at the gravesite of Thaddeus Stevens, we cele-brated the 220th Birthday for our founder. On this day, Maurice Wil-liams, a 2nd. Year student in Business Administration, read his essay about Stevens before an attentive crowd of people. He shared how Thaddeus Stevens was a leader and a caring person. Without the ef-forts of this man, our school wouldn't exist today, nor would we have the great educational opportunities that we do.

Springtime on the Steven’s Campus! Enjoy the beauty of our campus, as captured in these photos..
