Our Staff
The Residence Life staff is made up of two(2) Area Coordinators (ACs), fourteen(14) Resident Assistants (RAs), the Coordinator of Residence Life, and the Director of Residence Life . Each hall is assigned several RAs and one AC. Their purpose is to assist all residents and anyone else who visits the residential areas of campus, by listening, assisting, documenting, and educating.
A staff member is available for assistance around the clock. During duty hours, Area Coordinators and Resident Assistants conduct periodic campus rounds (social, maintenance, & safety) to ensure residents’ needs are met. We want every student to feel welcome, so do not be surprised when we stop in to say hello. In addition, while on duty, we perform administrative tasks, maintain lobby common areas, and handle policy violations,
What is an AC?
----------------
Area Coordinators (ACs) are full time professional staff
members who live on campus, provide guidance and supervision to the Resident
Assistants, and are responsible for helping students connect to campus. The ACs
have several years of experience and advanced training in residence life and
were once college students too! Each AC is responsible for at least two residential
buildings on campus. These dynamic professionals believe in an open door policy,
so please stop by! Their offices are located in O’Connell
Hall in the Office of Residence Life.
What is an RA?
----------------
Resident Assistants are paraprofessional, current BAC student leaders who range from Sophomores to Seniors. RAs live throughout the campus and are responsible for a certain number of residents which he or she lives among. RAs provide peer support, community development activities, programming, and policy enforcement. Getting to know your RA can be one of the most valuable resources for campus living at the Abbey.
