MONDAY, NOV.
Spring 2015 web registration begins
FRIDAY, NOV. ^
Last day to withdraw from classes
44 I manage students’ room assignments, interact with vendors and counsel students
(which includes mitigating roommate issues), so there’s never a dull day. I also assist the
associate dean of Housing and Residential Life, the assistant director of Housing, residence
directors and residence advisers with their programs and daily responsibilities.
What 1 love most about my job is the opportunity to interact with students and help
them solve their problems. Students come to the office and feel comfortable enough to sit
and talk, hang out or ask for advice. Even if the students’ issues are unrelated to housing,
I try to assist them in any way that I can. I think it’s important to have patience and
understanding and to meet students where they are. ^ ^
