A Welcome from Your Resident Directors: Heather, Maria and Riley
Greetings University Courtyard Residents!
We just wanted to take the time to say “hi” and welcome you to this
upcoming year at University Courtyard. We, along with our terrific staff,
have been getting everything ready for your arrival! We have great things
in store for this year and look forward to walking with you on your journey
at Fresno State. The Residential Staff are all here to help in any way that
we can. Someone is here 24 hours a day if you need us. Make sure you
Left to Right (Heather, Maria, Riley)
learn the name of your Resident Advisor – they will be your main point of
contact throughout the year. They will plan fun activities for you – so if you have any ideas, just let them
know. Finally, we want to encourage you to get involved. There are many opportunities for you to join
us as we make this a terrific year. Check out the “Get Involved” section on page 2 for more information.
Whatever you do, make sure you find a way to connect here at University Courtyard – you’ll have a
much better experience if you do. And if you ever need anything, make sure to let us know! We will also
provide lots of opportunities to join in programs and have fun!
Sincerely,
Heather Ryan (RD of Suites), Maria Cortes (RD of Graves and Homan), and Riley Thomas (RD of Baker)
