Welcome to Gorman Wheeler!

Greetings from your Residence Director:

WELCOME TO GORMAN/WHEELER! My name is Pamela Roy and I am the Residence Director (RD). We have an awesome team including: 1 Assistant Residence Director (ARD), 17 Resident Assistants (RAs), and 1 Cluster Office Manager (COM). This year we are all excited to provide an environment that is safe, inclusive, respectful, and that you will soon come to call your home.

The staff is here to assist you with any questions; get to know them – they are approachable and friendly! It is my hope that you will take advantage of our numerous programs – just be on the look out for advertisements. I hope you continue to participate in our traditions; ask your RA about how you can earn Cluster Bucks and get great prizes. You also have an opportunity to take a 2-credit course called Toltec, offered only to Gorman students as part of living in Nuance Multicultural Living Learning Community. It is a class that focuses on social justice and diversity education; we go to NYC during the fall semester and have great dialogue on various “isms” each week in class. Look for a forthcoming email from me that will include an application for the course.

I am here to support you! I have lived in Gorman as the RD for 3 years and I am excited about year 4! Once you arrive on campus feel free to stop by my office, which is located on the first floor of Gorman, room 131, and say hi! I love everything about this cluster, particularly it’s pride and sense of community, and I hope you will enjoy your time in lower Central!
