The Residence Life Staff

Just as other college departments have department chairs, professors and lecturers, the residence hall program also has a staff to carry out its goals.

The residence hall director — The staff of each residence hall is coordinated and trained by the residence hall director. Your director is a resource person who can help you in a variety of areas. Either personally or via referral, the director can assist you with personal, academic, career and financial aid concerns or questions. He/She can also help you get in touch with various college and community resources. Make it a point to get to know your director; he/she is eager to meet you and to help you pursue your goals while you are a student at Concordia.

The student staff — The residence hall director is the chief administrator of your hall. He/She is supported by a student hall director’s assistant (DA) and a number of resident assistants (RAs). The DA functions as the director’s immediate assistant and performs a variety of delegated tasks, especially those relating to the administration of the hall.

The staff member you are likely to meet first and see most often is your floor or unit RA. Like you, he/she is an undergraduate student with academic assignments, research paper deadlines and, with luck, a social life. The RAs assist the director with developing a sense of community and are available to assist you with personal concerns or problems. They serve as positive role models, enforce college and hall regulations, initiate programs for the floor or unit residents, and assist in developing a sense of community.
