Office of Residence Life

 

What's an RC, HR, or RA? 


 


To assist you in making the most of your on-campus experience,
it is important to get to know the following people:

Residential Coordinators   Caricature of Anna Jessen  (Hughes) Caricature of Brian Borden (Hale) Caricature of Chris Martin (Moore) Caricature of heather Elam (Morton & Brentano)
 

The residential coordinator is a full-time professional who lives in your residential community. Each residential coordinator has a bachelor’s or a master’s degree, with significant experience in residence hall living. Their responsibility is the overall management of their area, including supervising and training the resident assistant staff, advising residential student government, and handling disputes, conflicts and disciplinary matters. A substantial portion of the residential coordinator’s time is spent serving as an active resource to students. Residential coordinators have been trained to assist students with both academic and personal matters and can serve as a link to a variety of University and community resources.

Head Residents  Caricature of Logan Corbett ( Powell)  Caricature of Zach Cullum (Schroeder)
 

Powell Hall and Schroeder Hall are each managed by a head resident.  The head resident is a resident assistant who has been selected for his or her maturity and residence life experience to manage a residence area. Head resident responsibilities include supervising a resident assistant staff, advising residential student government, planning activities and maintaining an environment that encourages student learning. Head residents are supervised by the assistant director of residence life.

 

Resident Assistants
 

One of the most valuable resources on campus can be your resident assistant (RA). Students serving in these positions have been selected based on their maturity, interpersonal skills and sense of commitment. Your RA can be a primary resource for information and assistance. Their major responsibilities include getting to know you and helping you become familiar with how the University of Evansville works. They assist in maintaining an environment that encourages student learning. As peers, RAs are available to help students with personal or academic concerns, and they plan a number of educational and social activities for members of their floors. Don’t miss out; get to know your RA!
