SPU Living Experience

At 涩里番 Pacific, you encounter an on-campus living experience unlike any other.

Here, your residence hall is more than a place you live: it's where you learn, grow, forge life-long friendships, and pursue your calling. It's where you find academic support, life-changing community events, and leaders who will help you transition to college and prepare for your future.

Each year, your experience will be tailored to where you are in your college journey.

Resident Advisors (RAs)

RAs are your go-to student leaders for any questions you have about college life! They are also the community leaders of your residence hall floor, planning events and activities to bring you and your hall-mates closer together.

Student Ministry Coordinators (SMCs)

SMCs help foster spiritual growth in residence halls. They lead prayer and worship sessions, plan service opportunities, and connect students to the many discipleship and service resources in University Ministries. They are always available for conversation!

Area Councils

Area Councils are groups of students selected to provide leadership for their residence halls. As part of your Area Council, you'll be able to address issues, initiate change, and plan events for your fellow students. This is a great leadership development opportunity!
