Residence Life

It’s much more than a cluster of buildings.

Residence life at Taylor is more than that. Halls are intentionally integrated, so underclassmen are living with and learning from upperclassmen and vice versa. In living together, students are exposed to a variety of people and opinions, as well as a host of shared experiences.

The goal is to create an environment that encourages personal and spiritual growth and fosters the basic values of Christian community, such as consideration for others, integrity and self-discipline.

Lisa Barber, Women's Programming

My name is Lisa Barber and I am the Graduate Assistant for Women's Programming here at Taylor University.  I am beginning my first year in Taylor's Master of Arts in Higher Education program.  In 2003 I graduated from Taylor University with a BA in Communications and a minor in Psychology.  My Sophomore year I spent the semester in Ireland with Taylor's Irish Studies Program.  I also served as a Personnel Assistant in Olson Hall and as the Vice President of Student Activities. 

I've spent the last 6 years working as a Resident Director at Northwestern College in Orange City, IA.  There I supervised 200 women and loved living with and learning from them. 

All of these experiences have shaped me in so many ways and have shown me how much I love working with college students.  I look forward to working with the women at Taylor as we address important issues and have fun together too.  

Lisa can be contacted via e-mail at lisa_barber@taylor.edu.
