Residence Coordinators (RCs)

The residence coordinator (RC) is a full-time professional who lives and works in a residence hall.  Each RC has extensive experience working with college students and many of them have earned a Master’s degree.  Residence coordinators manage a building that houses anywhere from 330-750 students.  They supervise 10-12 resident advisors (RAs), 1-2 graduate students, and one full-time clerical staff member.  RCs oversee the supervision of service desks. They advise student groups, conduct judicial hearings and teach the resident advisor class. The residence coordinator is called upon to assist parents and students and is required to have strong helping, listening and problem-solving skills.  As a member of the senior staff team, they participate in a campus duty rotation.  Residence coordinators sit on one or two departmental committees.  Residence coordinators are the resource to whom parents should first direct their questions; resident advisors (RAs) are the best first resource for most student concerns.
