I’m Adam and I am the Residence Life Warden at Charles Morris Hall. Located right at the heart of the university campus, Charles Morris is – in my humble (if somewhat biassed) opinion – the best place to be in halls. From Charlie Mo you are just minutes away from the main lecture rooms theatres, a short stroll from the Students Union and are surrounded by the families of resident rabbits that roam the campus.

As Warden, my role is make sure that every resident has great time while staying with us. I’m here to support you during your time in Charles Morris, helping you with any welfare issues you may experience and to deal with any anti-social behaviour that disturbs you. I’ve been a Residence Life Warden at the University for 12 years and I’m a member of staff in the Digital Education Service. I came to Leeds as an undergraduate and never left!

I am assisted by an excellent team of 4 Residence Life Assistants, who all live on site. Together, it is our responsibility to ensure that you are happy and are able to make the most of your time with us. There is a Residence Life Assistant on call every night and all weekend during term time, meaning that there is always someone you can call on for support or advice. The duty Residence Life Assistant contact number is 0790 361 0194 - make sure you save this number in your phone as I can guarantee you’ll need it at some point during the year ahead.

If you face any challenges or issues, however big or small, please do come and speak to me or the team. We will always do our best to help or to refer you to the most appropriate service at the University.

Every year we excel at Charles Morris in social activities, sports and events. During your time with us there will be plenty of opportunities to get involved in our active social calendar. We have a Christmas Ball, a summer party, film nights, pizza nights, trips and plenty of other things to look forward to. You can even join us at the local Parkrun if you fancy a Saturday morning run! 

We would love you to get involved in these events too. My favourite part of being a Warden is working with residents to put on these events for the community, so do put yourself forward to join the Residence Life Social Committee. We also want to try something new and last year the Charles Morris committee were named ‘Social Committee of the Year’ for all their events. 

Finally, please do join me for the Charles Morris Welcome Talk on Sunday 21 September. This is your opportunity to learn about life in Charles Morris and meet the team.

Best wishes for the rest of the summer and I look forward to welcoming you to Leeds in September!
