The Deans and Associate/Assistant Directors responsible for Campus and Residential Life provide counseling, residence hall staff supervision, student discipline, human relations programming, and other programming related to issues of student life.
Each residence hall has a Head Resident, and most floors have a Resident Assistant. The student residence hall staff serves as advisors and resource persons for residents. In addition, the staff works to develop a sense of community in the residence halls by promoting communication, planning activities, establishing and maintaining community standards and helping residents resolve disputes. The Resident Assistants also help to coordinate social, recreational, cultural, and educational programs in each residence hall.
Associate/Assistant Directors for Residential Life, who are full-time administrative staff, live on campus and have responsibility for the coordination of programs and services in a cluster of residence halls. The Assistant Directors also serve as supervisors for residence hall staff and serve as principal links between the Office of Campus and Residential Life and residence hall staff and students.
Student records and processing of leaves and withdrawals are coordinated through the office of Campus and Residential Life. It also assumes responsibility for alcohol, drug and health education efforts.

-
