Hello Ravens,
Welcome to Carleton, and welcome to your new home! To those of you who are returning, welcome back!
My name is Taylor Maudlin (she/her) and I am the Residence Manager for both Prescott House and Leeds Houses.
I am looking forward to welcoming you all to your home-away-from-home alongside my lovely Residence Fellow team. As a Residence Manager, I oversee these two buildings and will be around your community in many ways. I also oversee a team of 18 Residence Fellows who live directly in your community to support you, run fun programs for you to attend, and help make your time in Residence memorable and safe.
Some quick facts about Prescott House:
- Prescott House was built in 2003.
- Prescott has almost 400 students across 6 floors, with 2 Residence Fellows per floor.
- The 1st floor of Prescott actually doesn’t house any students – it’s just for laundry and tunnel access (so the building technically has 7 floors)!
- The 1st floor of Prescott is also home to our Residence Gym, which is open exclusively to residence students and hosts LGBTQ+ only hours on a weekly basis!

Some quick facts about Leeds House:
- Leeds House was opened in 2001 and is specifically for third year, fourth year, and Graduate-level students.
- Leeds is also a suite-style building with single bedrooms, meaning that you will have your own bedroom within a suite shared by either one or three other residents.
- Leeds is home to almost 400 students across 6 floors, with 1 Residence Fellow per floor.
- Leeds also has classroom spaces on the first floor which are often used for lectures or Residence events!
- Along with the classroom spaces, the first floor of Leeds is home to the Multi-Faith Prayer and Meditation room in Leeds 118, which is open 24/7 for residence students of all faiths and beliefs.

I hope this information gives you some more insight into the place you will be calling “home” for the academic year. Whether you are new or returning, there are many things about the school year that can be exciting and nerve-wracking. We are here to help you navigate this journey and to support you. I am so looking forward to having everyone move in, and the opportunity to personally connect with as many of you as I can. Some of my interests include trying new coffee shops, watching horror movies, reading, and anything active! If you have any questions, or would just like to chat, you can connect with me by sending an email to TaylorMaudlin@cunet.carleton.ca.
I hope you enjoy the rest of your summer and can’t wait to see you all on campus soon!
Warmly,
Taylor Maudlin, MA (she/her)
