Edgren Hall
Edgren is a living and learning freshman hall featuring 6 floors of 25 people with traditional-style 2- and 3-person dorm rooms. As a community, we seek to be in authentic relationship with Christ and each other.
As a staff, we strive to be leaders and Christ-followers who are committed to being gracious, fully present, and passionate in the way we engage our residents. We seek to be service oriented, intentional, and committed to accountability and excellence.
As a freshman hall, we desire to create a space for students to deepen their faith, navigate the new freedom of living away from home, have fun, and develop real and meaningful relationships with others.
We desire to have programming that is fun and relevant. We do things like movie nights, the amazing race, and costume parties as well as engage in conversations about body image, going home for the first time as an adult, and study skills.
Located on "The Hill," Edgren residents are able to be in close community with two of the other freshman halls. We love meeting in "Bodgren" and hanging out with our neighbors in Getsch and Nelson. Edgren is a great place to experience your freshman year; let's do life together!
