Each residential college is led by a College Head (faculty member) plus a Residence Director (a graduate student) and Resident Advisors (undergraduate students), helping to foster an inclusive learning environment on campus. Residence halls are protected by Racer Patrol, support from the Murray State Police Department, student rovers and a 24/7 front desk operation.
