Housing and Residence Life Staff
The Housing and Residence Life staff works together to provide an outstanding on-campus experience for you!
In collaboration with one another under the guidance of the Senior Director, the Associate Directors of Housing and Residence Life direct the day to day activities of Housing and Residence Life Office in two distinct areas: Operations and Residence Life. This includes oversight of the contract process, assignments and the overall condition of our residence halls, as well as engaging students in the residence halls, creating an inclusive residential environment and providing a safe home away from home.
The Residence Life staff is comprised mostly of Student Staff (LCAs and RAs) and Residence Life Coordinators (RLCs), who live with the residents in the halls. They are responsible for creating programs for their floor/community, counseling residents through roommate conflicts and policy enforcement.
We have staff on call 24-hours a day, which include both Student Staff and two levels professional staff. Contact the Welcome Desk, if you need help. The attendant will route you to the appropriate staff member.
