Welcome to Eaton. My name is Nate Johnson and I am the Area Director for Eaton Residential College. I live on the first floor in 102 with my wife Leigh Ellen and our two boxers Trigger and Moxie. We will be blessed with another addition to our family come this October as we are expecting a little baby girl.

I graduated from the University of Colorado with a degree in Sociology and a minor in Psychology. I finished up my masters degree at Eastern Michigan University in Educational Leadership. Leigh Ellen graduated from Rutgers University with a bachelors degree in Spanish as well as masters degrees in Spanish Education and Spanish Translation. This is our fourth year at the institution and we have been thoroughly impressed with the caliber of student that chooses to have their experience at the University of Miami.

We are excited to have you with us this year and we look forward to creating a positive and well rounded experience for all of you. We hope that you will find your place in this community and that it will be one that truly enhances your academic experience. Welcome to Eaton Residential College, your new home away from home.
