Mission of the Residence Hall Libraries:
The primary mission of the Residence Hall Library System (RHLS) is to support the residents, staff, and programs of University Housing at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The RHLS provides students with resources that meet their educational, social, and cultural needs. We foster unique learning opportunities through our information resources, collections, and programming. Our collections and programs support all aspects of students’ lives both academically and personally. Our mission complements the missions of University Housing, Residential Life, and works within the frame work of the University Library’s mission.
Graduate Mentors provide enrichment and mentoring services to assist students in the President's Award Program (PAP) and the Educational Opportunities Program (EOP). Graduate Mentors assist the Department, Division, and the University with narrowing retention, achievement and graduation gaps between targeted AALANA students (i.e., African American, Latino/a, and Native American students), at risk individuals, and the larger student population. Graduate Mentors help the department realize a vision that creates a culture of student excellence.
