Undergraduate Student Staff
Assistant Residence Directors
An Assistant Residence Director (ARD) is an undergraduate staff member primarily concerned with the physical operations of a residential facility. The Office Assistants and Hall Security Workers working in our residence halls are directly supervised by the ARDs. The ARD works in conjunction with the Residence Director to oversee building and facilities issues, supervise staff, and maintain keys and hall offices. Within the FYE area, there are three Assistant Residence Directors; one for each of the three buildings, Travers, Wolfe, and Cromwell Halls. ARDs can be reached through their respective hall offices.

- Residence Hall Offices are staffed from 8AM through 4PM by Office Assistants. They are then staffed from 8PM through 12AM by Community Advisors as part of their evening on call responsibilities. At the end of their office shift, the hall office phone is forwarded to their room until the hall office is reopened at 8AM by the Office Assistants.
Community Advisor
Community Advisors (CA) are undergraduate staff members that work to fulfill the Office of Residential and Community Development's belief that living in residence provides the student with an essential part of their education. The CA works under the direction of the Residence Director in fulfilling a role extending into all aspects of the student's physical, social, emotional, educational, and psychological well being.
