Dear Gaels and Friends,

This office exists to serve you! Iona recognizes the unique needs of its off-campus and commuter students. Iona also recognizes the important job it has as an institution of higher learning to prepare its students as citizens of a global world! This starts by building relationships with the community in our own backyard!

The Office of Off-Campus Housing has a number of goals and objectives. As director I hope you will partner with me in meeting these goals. The Office of Off-Campus Housing will work to:

• Advocate for off-campus and commuter students in the community and on campus
• Educate off-campus students about Ionas expectations of them as representatives of Iona College in the New Rochelle community
• Educate residential and non-residential students about transitional issues faced by off-campus students
• Keep off-campus students connected to the Iona community
• Build relationships with neighborhood associations and local governing agencies
• Help build positive relationships between Iona students and the citizens of New Rochelle
• Provide resources and services to off-campus and commuter students
