Hotchkiss Hall

This was the first dorm constructed when the university moved to its current location in the 1960s. It was dedicated on April 30, 1965, to Dr. Herbert Hotchkiss, “No man ever deserved to be memorialized in connection with an educational institution more than Herbert Hotchkiss.”

Men's Resident Director

Reagan Schiewe

Reagan and his wife, Julie, have been married since June of 2020. They originally moved to Los Angeles from Oregon in 2017 to attend TMU as students. After Reagan graduated TMU, he continued his education at TMS. Reagan’s goal is to go into full-time pastoral ministry. As a student, Reagan was in Hotchkiss and served on dorm staff, so his love for Hotchkiss has been increasing every year. Reagan and Julie just had their first son, Ransom, in August 2022. His favorite Bible verse is 2 Timothy 2:15.

Women's Resident Director

Julie DeVore

Julie grew up in Littlerock, CA with her family of 8. She graduated from TMU with her bachelor’s degree in Biblical Counseling. During her time as a student, she enjoyed the IBEX program and serving as both an RA and WA. Julie is ACBC certified and is currently pursuing her master’s degree in Biblical Counseling. She loves serving in music ministry at her local church, Grace Baptist. This year Julie joined CrossFit and has enjoyed this new hobby which pushes her outside of her comfort zone. On the weekends you’ll find Julie doing HW at coffee shops, hanging out with friends or exploring new places in LA.

What is Hotchkiss Hall Like?

Hotchkiss Dorm is a two-story building in the shape of an “H”. The lounge is a great place to build relationships, hang out, play board games, study, play ping pong, and have movie nights. The RDs love having the students over in their apartments for fun and fellowship. We love using our “Hotchyard” in the back and are excited to utilize the fountain area for hangouts. There is a central lounge on the first story and two apartments for the Resident Directors on the second story. There are eight wings, four men’s and four women’s, divided by the lounge on the first floor and by the Resident Directors’ apartments on the second. The wings are equipped with several showers, restrooms, and laundry facilities. Each dorm room is fully furnished for two students including beds, built-in shelving, drawers, closet space, and desks. The rooms have individual heater/air-conditioner units. The wings are referred to as “Upper-Back,” “Lower-Back,” “Upper-Front,” and “Lower-Front.”

Three Words to Describe the Dorm?

Family. Tradition. Heart.

Dorm Traditions?

Apple Pie Night: An evening when a small team from Hotchkiss makes roughly 60-70 pies and the whole dorm gets together to eat them with vanilla ice cream. They collect apples as a dorm for weeks leading up to it.

Hotchkiss Luau: The final dorm event at Dockweiler Beach, every April, where they play games, have a sandcastle competition, grill, make s’mores, and crown the Hotchkiss King and Queen. Mistletoe Madness: The annual Christmas Ping Pong tournament! Whether you are skilled in the mastery of table tennis or not, it’s one of our most unifying dorm events that lasts a whole week.
