Welcome to the Residence Services’ website. My name is John Yaun and I serve as the Director of Residence Services. I have been at Marshall since April 2009. Over the past few months there has been unprecedented change within the residence halls and residential living. We have implemented a new First Year Residential Experience, created two Residential Colleges, added numerous traditions for community development, and recruited some of the best staff in the United States. The best part of working at Marshall is the students and the dedicated staff who want to make a positive lasting difference in the lives of those students. The diversity of interests and backgrounds make Marshall a unique place of learning and growth. We are an evolving organization that is looking to be one of the best residential programs in the country because of our commitment to students and their learning and development.

For those interested, I have an M.A from Louisiana State University in the Arts-and-Humanities, a B.A. from LSU in Political Science as well, and am currently completing a Ph. D. in Higher Education Administration. I have worked previously at Texas State University, the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, Louisiana State University, and the University of Miami. In my spare time I play tennis, teach Holocaust & Genocide Studies, collect books and wine, and enjoy the four cats I adopted from various animal shelters. My office is located in the Residence Services main office in Holderby Hall, room 108 should you want to visit.
