Taking Care of U: Creating Community on Campus

Join host Lesley Cantu on the Taking Care of U podcast as she explores how on-campus housing helps students thrive at Stan State. Katie Billiet, communications and occupancy management specialist in Housing and Residential Life, shares how living on campus fosters student success and supports wellbeing through connection, convenience and care.

• Supportive environments: Living on campus offers more than just a place to stay—it provides access to academic resources, student-centered programming, and staff dedicated to your success.
• Community and growth: From personal development and leadership opportunities to friendship and fun, students gain valuable life skills through shared experiences in housing.
• Inclusive services: Learn how Stan State housing supports all students, including gender-inclusive housing options, partnerships with counseling and disability services, and resources tailored to international students.

“We are student-centered, which means that everything we do is for our students. We want them to succeed in their classes. We want them to have an entire residential education team that helps them achieve that. We want them to really understand the expectations of college life and support them.”
