Residence Education Coordinators are full-time, live-in, professional staff members of the Department of Housing and Residence Life responsible for providing overall management and leadership in residential building(s)/areas housing 200-750 residents each. Principal responsibilities include staff supervision and development, residential education, implementation of the residential curriculum, community development, crisis management, administration and building management, student conduct, facilitation of the leadership workshop series, summer operations, and other departmental/university-wide responsibilities. Because Residence Education Coordinators are the primary professional staff members available in the residence halls for student contact, spending some evening and weekend time with students is required. Residence Education Coordinators are supervised by an Assistant Director who serves on the Residence Life Leadership Team.
