Each residence hall operates under the direction of both paid professionals and student staff. The residence hall staff focus on creating a living atmosphere that benefits all residents.
Coordinator for Residence Life
The Coordinator for Residence Life (CRL) is the primary live-in administrator for the residence halls and assists with the oversight of the Townhomes. The CRL is also responsible for department-wide projects and processes. As a full-time employee living in an apartment within the residence hall they oversee, the CRL is exempt from certain regulations outlined in the Student Handbook.
Custodians
Custodians clean the bathrooms, suites, and first-floor parlors daily but do not enter individual student rooms. They clean the kitchen areas in each suite, including wiping counters and mopping, but do not wash students’ dishes. Custodians are responsible for dusting, vacuuming, mopping, and emptying suite trash. The custodial supervisor conducts periodic inspections to ensure a clean and safe environment. Students are expected to cooperate by keeping dishes washed and personal items cleared from sinks, showers, tub areas, and parlors. If any areas fall below minimal standards, students will be notified by the residence life staff and will be responsible for cleaning.
Hall Directors
Hall Directors oversee their respective halls, enforce College policies, and supervise hall staff. They are responsible for the general welfare of the students and have the authority to take appropriate action to address situations affecting student well-being. Each Hall Director is trained in student support and is committed to assisting in students’ development.
Resident Assistants
Resident Assistants (R.A.s) are sophomores, juniors, or seniors who represent the College within the residence halls. R.A.s assist Hall Directors with supervision and are readily available to support residents. They enforce residence hall and campus regulations while also focusing on students' academic, social, emotional, and cultural development. R.A.s are available for emergency assistance, information, advice, and referrals.
Suite Chairs
Suite Chairs are students appointed to represent individual suites, which typically house an average of eight students. While usually returning students, Suite Chairs may occasionally be first-year students. This role offers valuable leadership experience and involves assisting with tasks such as care package processes, residence life forms, censuses, and mediating suite issues. Suite Chairs act as a liaison between student life and their suite, meeting twice per semester with residence life staff for updates and training.
