Kaitlyn Calais

Residential Accountability Case Coordinator

 

I do this work because I am passionate about supporting students as they develop, overcome challenges, and reach their full potential. I believe that structure, accountability, and encouragement all play an important role in student success. Through my experience in education and student support, I’ve seen how meaningful it is to be a consistent, positive presence during key moments in a student’s journey. My goal is to help create an environment where students feel supported, respected, and empowered to make responsible choices and success both inside and outside the classroom.

 

 

 

 

From my time living on campus, I learned the importance of fostering a supportive and safe community rooted in connection. Living in the residence halls taught me how valuable it is to build meaningful relationships, communicate openly, and contribute to an environment where students feel supported, respected, and at home.

What are your ‘living on campus’ credentials?

I have three years of experience living on campus and one year of experience serving as a Resident Assistant in the magnificent McVoy Hall.

 

What is your favorite spot on campus and why?

My favorite place on campus is LSU lakes, because it is always peaceful and reminds me to slow down to take in the beauty around me.
