The Director of Residence Life oversees the
development and integration of programming, based on student development theory
and wellness principles. The Director works closely with the student leaders to
identify and address current student interests, issues and concerns. The
Director of Residence Life supervises the Resident Assistants (RA’s) and
oversees the campus housing systems and is responsible for developing,
implementing and monitoring all policies and procedures, and facilitates the
judicial process. The Director is a liaison to the Admissions office, Campus
Safety and Environmental Services. Resident Assistants (RA’s): serve as
liaisons between the Office of Student Life and students; demonstrate interest,
concern and advocacy for each student in the residence halls; assist with
resident student concerns and issues; respond to violations of the College
policies; provide resources and referrals; coordinate educational and social
programming with residents; serve as role models in academic and personal
behavior.
There is a RA on duty each night (both
weekday and weekend) from 6pm until 12am in South Village and East Village. The RA's on duty sit in the Commons and respond to various concerns that may
arise during the evening; ranging from lockouts and roommate conflicts to
violations of College policy.
In addition to the RA's on duty each night
there is also an Administrator On Call (AOC) each evening. AOC's are
professional staff members who are a part of the Student Life Staff.
