Housing How-To: Welcome from the Director

Dear Lions,
Welcome home! Whether you are joining us for the first time or returning for another year, it is an honor to welcome you and your families to East Texas A&M University for the 2026–2027 academic year.
Choosing to live on campus means choosing to be part of something bigger than just a place to stay. Our residence halls are communities where you will learn, grow, and build lasting connections. They are places where you will be supported by dedicated staff and surrounded by fellow Lions who will challenge and inspire you every day.
Our Residential Living and Learning team is dedicated to creating an environment where you feel safe, welcome, and empowered to achieve your goals. We take pride in helping you build meaningful relationships, develop valuable life skills, and create memories that will last long after you leave our communities.
I encourage you to take full advantage of the opportunities that living on campus provides. Get to know your neighbors, connect with your resident assistants and community directors, and do not hesitate to ask for help when you need it. We are here for you.
Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your college journey. I look forward to seeing you around campus and watching all that you accomplish this year.
Welcome home, Lions. Let's make it a year to remember.
Nicholas Brown, Director of Residential Living & Learning
