Housing & Campus Life with Zoe

Meet Zoe.

Zoe Harville, a master’s student at Shawnee State University from Miamisburg, Ohio, has turned her lifelong passion for helping others into a driving force behind her extensive involvement on campus.

“Growing up, I always knew that I wanted to help people. I remember tutoring my classmates in kindergarten, and now here I am earning my master’s in education,” Harville said. “When it came to finding the right college, Shawnee State felt special.”

Harville said the university’s close-knit community and residential offerings have made her time at Shawnee State memorable.

“Shawnee’s small class sizes have helped me make friends, and I love living on campus,” Harville said. “Each apartment has its own kitchen, living room, bedrooms and bathrooms.”

Harville said the campus housing options offer students comfort and convenience, helping them settle into college life.

“Overall, the style of housing this close to campus provides me with all the comforts I could ever need,” Harville said. “Plus, getting involved here at SSU is easy.”

Harville has taken full advantage of student life at Shawnee State, participating in organizations and leadership opportunities on campus.

“Over my five years on campus, I’ve been involved in the Delta Phi Epsilon sorority, Delight and Cru ministries, and I’ve been a resident assistant for the past three years,” Harville said. “Through being an RA, I’ve worked all over campus, which has allowed me to meet a lot of great people.”

Living and working on campus has given Harville a unique perspective on student engagement and community involvement at Shawnee State.

“There are always events being held on campus, too, whether those are the monthly RA events or other organizations,” Harville said. “Being involved in housing and campus life has made my college experience more engaging. I’ve had so many opportunities to grow as an individual and prepare for my future teaching career.”
