Residential Life Staff
Converse’s Residential Life staff seeks to provide a nurturing, safe, secure, and educationally purposeful residential community that supports the mission of the university and the Division of Student Development and Success by offering programs and activities that enrich the community, encourage responsible citizenship and academic excellence, and develop the talents of students. Each residential area is supported by a team of professional, graduate, and student staff who work collaboratively to meet the needs of our residents.
Area Coordinators (ACs)
Area Coordinators are full-time professional staff members who provide leadership and oversight for multiple residence halls. They supervise the Resident Directors (RDs) and Community Advisors (CAs) within their assigned areas and work closely with the Director of Residence Life to ensure consistency in operations, staff development, and student support.
Area Coordinators also play a key role in implementing departmental initiatives, crisis response, and community development efforts across campus housing.
Resident Directors (RDs)
Resident Directors are graduate student professionals who live and work within the residence halls to support the residential community. They supervise and mentor Community Advisors (CAs) while fostering an inclusive, engaging, and academically supportive living environment.
In addition to overseeing the daily operations of their residence hall, Resident Directors manage administrative responsibilities such as maintenance requests, key management, and building operations. They also serve as a valuable resource for residents by providing guidance, addressing concerns, and connecting students with appropriate campus resources and support services.
To ensure student safety and well-being, a Resident Director or a member of the Student Development and Success staff is on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to respond to emergencies and urgent student needs.
Community Advisors (CAs)
Community Advisors are undergraduate student leaders who live on each floor of the residence halls. They are trained to provide support, leadership, and resources while fostering an inclusive, welcoming community that promotes personal growth, academic success, and meaningful connections among residents.
Throughout the year, CAs plan engaging programs and events designed to build community, encourage student involvement, and enhance the residential experience. They also serve as a valuable resource by answering questions, assisting with concerns, and helping residents connect with campus resources when needed.
When the residence halls are open, a member of the Residential Life staff is always on call to respond to emergencies and provide support as needed.
