    Residence Life Staff

The Residence Life Office helps shape a living-learning environment that supports students' academic, personal, and interpersonal growth and development by:

providing trained, caring, and competent professional and student staff
effectively managing housing operations
providing safe and comfortable facilities that meet student needs
engaging students in learning opportunities outside the classroom
encouraging students to accept both the freedom and responsibility inherent in community living

The Residence Life Staff seeks to challenge students to explore new ideas, new ways of thinking, and to explore the ways in how to be a community.


Jenifer Hanson
Director of Residence Life
and Assistant Dean of Students
Office: 101 McAuley
319-368-6469  bplotz@mtmercy.edu

Jenifer came to Mount Mercy and to residence life after working in academic counseling, athletics, and health education at a large state university. She has lived on campus with the students for 11 years, currently close-by in campus-owned housing.

Jenifer enjoys being part of students’ lives and growth over their tenure at Mount Mercy. She encourages students to see the out-of-classroom experiences as part of the education they are receiving: try new things, learn new skills, even try things they think they won’t like!

A warning - Jenifer loves to play cards, trivia games or word games and will take all challengers!

Residence Hall Director

A small college graduate, Adam graduated from Carroll College in Southeastern Wisconsin with a degree in Sociology and Communications. He finds the higher education atmosphere, especially the smaller college atomphere comfortable and enjoyable.

Adam is adamant about encouraging students to live on campus to get the full college experience, including keeping his door open for questions and concerns. Feel free to stop by, email, or call!
