Stasia DeWitt, Area Coordinator of Drew Hall, has worked at Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµAPK since 2022. She supervises seven Resident Assistants in Drew Hall and two Student Area Coordinators across campus.

Stasia attended Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµAPK for her bachelor’s degree in Criminology and Criminal Justice with a minor in Forensic Science and graduated summa cum laude. As a student, she was very involved with Residential Life: she worked in the Res Life office, at the Sorin Information Desk, as a summer conference assistant and summer RA. Her favorite part of working in Res Life as a student was giving tours and information to incoming students and their families.

Stasia is a published criminologist who spent five years working on mass shooting prevention with non-profit The Violence Project, founded by Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµAPK professor Dr. Jillian Peterson. This work had Stasia studying the psychosocial life variables of all US mass shooters since 1966 and coding the information into the largest-ever database of information for criminologists to use as a basis for research.

Stasia loves spending time with her cat, watching movies, and listening to mystery audiobooks. She has a large collection of art, which she buys from local artists and thrift shops.
