Assistant Resident Director

Caleb Marll

Hello! My name is Caleb Marll and I am the Assistant Resident Director of Emerson Hall. I grew up in Washington State before coming to Westmont as a student, where I graduated in 2023 with a degree in Religious Studies. While at Westmont, I was involved with Residence Life as an RA, served as an Intercultural Programs leader, and was a member of the Chapel Band. As a Resident Director, I have the unique privilege of walking alongside students as they explore the joys, challenges, and nuances of living in community. When I'm not in Emerson, you can find me cycling along the Montecito roads, reading a good book at the beach, or finding my next cup of coffee!
