Contact Information

If you have a question about the Social Science & Public Affairs Living-Learning Community, feel free to use the contact information listed below. Please be sure to read through our Frequently Asked Questions page first, though, to make sure your question isn't already answered.

FSU University Housing

University Housing Office (General)

FSU's University Housing Office is the place to contact about residence hall living at FSU, including questions about residence hall policies, roommates, maintenance issues, or initial admission to the program. Before calling or emailing Housing, though, please go through the University Housing web site, which includes quite a bit of information that can resolve most student questions (see especially their Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) and their Guide to Residence Hall Services).

Living-Learning Communities Coordinator: Denise Mercier

Denise Mercier is the Housing Office's coordinator for all of the living and learning communities at FSU. Potential program participants should contact her with any questions about applications, deadlines, housing assignments, and so on. Students who are currently involved in the program should try to contact the DeGraff Hall Residence Coordinator (Daphne Wells) or the Assistant Coordinator (Samantha Perry) about housing-related issues and Program Director Phil Steinberg about most academic issues related to the program itself.


The Residence Hall

This contact information is for the residence hall itself, rather than for FSU Housing or for the academic components of the program. Use this if you need to contact the residence hall's office, or to talk to the Residence Coordinator in charge of the residence hall during the academic year.

Front Desk

The front desk at DeGraff Hall should be contacted with questions about how to reserve the dorm's lounge for activities, where to send packages, and similar questions about day-to-day dorm life. Somebody is stationed at the front desk 24 hours a day.
