The Four E Model

Forms the base of HRL's vision for an exceptional Residential Experience
At OSU we strive to create a residential experience that allows each resident to thrive. Our residential experience model is based on the Four E's, which helps build the Ideal Graduate.

We invite you to learn how Housing and Residential Life sets students up for success.

Engage...

Facilitates interaction with peers, staff, faculty and the university community
  • Home to 5,800 undergraduate students
  • 163 community mentors (CMs). These student leaders live in the halls and provide advocacy, intervention, mentorship and support to fellow residents.
  • Each CM hosts 3 in-hall social programs and events each semester to help residents get to know each other.
  • Late Night—ResLife's premiere social event—is held 3 times a semester to bring all residents together.

Educate...

Develops the faculties and powers of our students through holistic instruction
  • Each semester we partner with other camp departments to share information about important topics in residential spaces. Examples include:
      • "Hot Tips for Fire Safety" by Environmental Health and Safety 
      • "Sweet Conversations: Indulge in Dessert and Sexual Wellness" by Department of Wellness
      • "Rolling in the Dough" by Financial Aid
  • Students can participate in informal study groups and study sessions. 
  • Twice a semester community mentors (CMs) hold floor meetings to educate residents about housing policies, OSU resources and how to be a good community member. 

Embrace...

Creates an environment where everyone is accepted and makes positive contributions
  • Housing staff provides a wide range of activities for residents—including competitions, movie nights, crafts, online games—so every student can feel they belong. Community mentors (CMs) are always happy to hear suggestions or ideas for activities.
  • Residents may organize and host volunteer opportunities with fellow residents.

Empower...

Creates a culture where students develop the skills to voice and share their thoughts and ideas and pursue leadership opportunities
