Residence Life Coordinator
The Residence Life Coordinators (RLCs) are graduate assistant hall directors. The 6 RLCs oversee the day to day operations of their hall or hall areas, and supervise the Resident Assistants within the same area. One RLC is on call for the entire campus at all times when the Office of Residence Life is closed from August 1 to May 31, responding to concerns from Resident Assistant staff and Campus Police to issues in the halls after hours.
