Tara Adams
Assistant Director of Housing Operations
My name is Tara Adams and I'm the Assistant Director of Housing Operations for the Department of Housing and Residence Life here at Southern Polytechnic State University. I'm originally from Virginia, and I have over 12-years of housing experience, in which 6-years has been in student housing. I've been at SPSU for 5-years now as a live-in Staff Member and I really enjoy the daily interactions with the students in the dining hall, athletic games, and housing programming events. I believe that living on campus offers great options and convenience to help our students get the most out of their college experience. Whether they live in the residence hall, suites, or apartments, living in on-campus housing is a smart choice and will allow students to enjoy the supportive environment that will help them succeed.
