Residential Life Staff

Residence Directors

Each residence hall and living area has a residence director (RD) who oversees the daily functions of the hall/area. All RDs hold a master's degree and live in the same community as the students. The RD is responsible for tending to the needs of their community, addressing maintenance and facility concerns, meeting with students regarding conduct situations, and serving as a resource to the residents in her area. Each RD has an office and can be reached there or via phone/email.  

Director of Residential Life for Facilities and Operations

The Director of Residential Life for Facilities and Operations is responsible for the room assignment process for new and returning students. The Director develops and manages the policies and procedures for operational aspects of the residential life program.

Resident Assistants & Community Advisers

RAs & CAs are students who have been selected because of their desire to serve others, as well as develop talents and abilities in others and promote student development. They contribute to the residential program by combining their own pursuit of knowledge and development and by assisting other students to do the same. The RAs and CAs work cooperatively with students in their area to develop a sense of community where integrity and respect are valued. With assistance of residents, the RAs, CAs, and RDs organize activities, programs and speakers to meet the interest and needs of each residential area. The variety and depth of these learning experiences are the basis for building the community spirit so characteristic of the College of Saint Benedict.
