Padua Hall
Hi, my name is Pat Reidy and I will be your Padua Hall Residence Director for the 2007-08 academic year. I'm in my fourth year at Quincy University and I'm excited to be spending it in Padua Hall with the men and the new class of 2011. I'm excited to get to know all of you and I hope my R.A. staff and I can help you with all the changes you are about to encounter. To tell you a little about myself, I'm a student-athlete playing Men's Volleyball and double-majoring in Math and Computer Science. One of my missions this year is to help the men of Padua make the most of their time at Q.U. There is a lot to do on campus and what I enjoy most are the fall soccer games and the various SPB (Student Programming Board) events hosted by the school throughout the year. Quincy is an awesome place to be as long as you're willing to open your eyes and mind to it. Padua Hall is going to be a great place to live this year as my staff and I plan to bring all of the residents fun and dynamic events. I look forward to seeing you on move-in day and I hope all of you are as excited as I am!

I have been involved on campus by being a member of the QU football team and last year I was a member of our Student Judicial Board. I love the Miami Heat and the Boston Red Sox. I am thrilled to be your Resident Assistant because I am like the big brother you never had!! I will strive to developing a relationship with each of my residents and hope you know my door is open. One thing I can guarantee to the Men of Padua is you will never be bored with the year the Residence Life Sstaff has planned for you. We had a great community last year and look forward to a even stronger bond of brothers this coming year.

Hello fellow Padua Hall residents. My name is Michael Berndt, but you can call me Mike. I am a sophomore here at QU and am majoring in Finance. I am pretty busy and involved on campus but promise to always have time for the residents of Padua Hall. I encourage you to get involved as it makes the college experience what it’s meant to be. Intramurals is a great time and fun way to meet people. If you’re not into sports there are several clubs and activities going on everyday. If you have any questions or need anything knock on 216 and I will do what I can to help. It’s a great day to be a HAWK!!!!
Centennial Hall
Hi, I'm Brandon Gervais and I'll hold the position of Residence Director in Centennial Hall for the 2007-08 school year. This will be my second year on the Residence Life Staff and we are all looking forward to getting to know the diverse group of new students on campus. I'll be working towards my MBA this year, since obtaining accounting and finance degrees for the last four years just wasn't enough time for me at QU. I'll also be helping run the intramural program around campus, so find me when you're ready to get out and meet some new people to have a good time with. Have a great summer and be sure to come ready to have fun next school year. Take it easy.

Friars Hall
As the present RD of Friars Hall let me introduce myself. (Ugh hmmm) My name is Dema Sabbara, a unique name I know, compliments of my father. When asked where I'm from I do say Chicago, but in all actuality I live in suburbia. I live on the border of Skokie and Evanston which is about 15 minutes north of city limits. In about a second's time, I managed to blink, and somehow jumped from my freshman to my senior year of college. I am working towards my degree in Biological Sciences for secondary education. Now, I finally understand what my parents meant when they said enjoy your youth because time flies. I vote someone should cut time's wings because these years at QU have been some of my best, and they are going by way too fast. I am very involved on campus doing both intramurals and attending SPB events. You'll also see me at a lot of Quincy University's home games cheering on our QU athletes and singing in QU's Voices of Praise. Yes, I admit I have my dorky moments, but overall I'm a pretty fun, real, and open person. Don't be afraid to ask me questions because almost everyone on campus knows that I'm the queen of asking them myself. I am really excited for this upcoming year and can't wait to see where it takes us!
My name is Peter Coley, and I am from Evanston, Illinois. This is my third year at QU. I am majoring in social work and I play for the QU men’s volleyball team. I really love playing sports and I enjoy deep thinking and good conversation. I am a person that likes to take on life’s challenges head on. I will do my best in challenging you also as a person and as a friend. I hope to learn a lot from you and will do my best to teach you about our community and home. I know just about everything there is when it comes to cars, so if you love cars we already have something to talk about. I am looking forward to the upcoming year and hope to meet you all soon. You can find me on 4th floor Friars. Feel free to stop in if you have any questions or just to chat. Go Bears!!
