How Can I Help You?

I help students at A&M-Commerce by providing support and advocacy to them throughout their college experience. In addition to supporting our in-hall staff, I assist in helping to ensure we are meeting the needs of the students. I aim to ensure that students have a great experience while living on campus and that they can make A&M-Commerce their home away from home.

A Conversation with Nick

What would you tell a student thinking about attending A&M-Commerce?

Students should attend A&M-Commerce for various reasons, including the easy accessibility to campus resources, the inclusive environment created by the campus and community, and the many different clubs and organizations students are able to get involved with. Specifically, Residential Living and Learning works to provide a safe, fun and welcoming environment for our residents living on campus. We want our residential communities to be a student's home away from home.
