Department Committees
Many of the larger functions of Residence Life are supported by the work of committees. These committees are overseen by members of the Residence Life Leadership Team (Director, Associate Director, Assistant Director), and give Residence Life Staff the opportunity to gain administrative experience for specific processes. Every professional and graduate staff member in Residence Life serves on one or two committees each year. Serving on these committees provides great professional development opportunities for all staff.
