She can also provide referrals when needed. • Scheduling a time to meet with Kalista is easy. It can be done online, in-person, or by email. • SMWC also has a telehealth program for students called TimelyCare: Telehealth for Pomeroys.

Cortney Cross the director of residential life and student conduct oversees our 2 residence halls, Le Fer Hall, and Les Bois. Living on campus really enhances the college experience by being a part of a community that helps you learn and grow outside of the classroom. The center and community spaces of each floor give students the opportunity to build new friendships, study, socialize, and gain skills to become leaders of the SMWC community and beyond. Residential life employs 12 Resident Assistants (RAs) and 2 assistant hall directors who are graduate students. Residential Life Counseling
