Furthermore, the Resident Director will be responsible for many tasks including programming, administrative tasks, emergency interventions, setting boundaries for the students within their building, and as well the advising and mentoring of Resident Advisors. The position of Resident Director is a leadership position requiring a strong dedication to residence life.

Resident Advisor (RA)

Resident Advisors are full-time students whose schedule allows them to additionally serve as staff members in the Residence Halls. Students on academic probation or students who have experienced discipline problems in the preceding semester can not serve as RA's. RA's must support the basic purposes and objectives of the College and Residential Life, and their lifestyle should be in accordance with the College handbook. Prospective candidates must be full-time undergraduate students who have lived in the residence halls for at least one full semester with a minimum 2.5 GPA.
