Our Mission

The Office of Residence Life promotes a safe and comfortable living environment for CBC students. We offer students the opportunity to expand their learning experience in a community setting that allows students to interact with other student residents. We strive to offer positive social interactions and pathways to success. Students share responsibility with the Res Life staff to promote an inclusive, respectful environment, with a focus on wellness and student success.
