OUR STAFF
The Residence Life staff is made up of the Dean of Residential Life, an Assistant Director of Residence Life, an Area Coordinator of Community Development, the Coordinator of Residence Life, and seventeen Resident Assistants (RAs). Each hall is assigned several RAs. RAs, along with the Assistant Director of Residence Life and the Area Coordinator, 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, professional staff 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 by to say hello. In addition, while on duty, we perform administrative tasks, maintain lobby common areas, and handle policy violations.
The Assistant Director of Residence Life and the Area Coordinator (AC) 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. They have several years of experience and advanced training in residence life and were once college students, too! These professionals are responsible for the residential buildings on campus. They are happy to meet with students; so, if you have questions or concerns, just stop by the office to schedule a meeting. 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.
