Housing and Residential Education

Resident Mentors & Hall Managers

Resident Mentors

Resident Mentors (RMs) are student leaders employed by the Housing & Residential Education. RMs live in each residence hall and apartment building. RMs are there to help provide a fun, educational and cooperative living environment where everyone can take ownership. The primary role of a RM is to help you develop community on your floor/wing, but they also are trained in peer guidance, leadership development, crisis intervention, and establishing community standards (policy enforcement). RMs are hired because of their leadership skills and personal commitment to helping you succeed. In short, the RM is the "go to" person for any question or concern you might have. 

Hall Managers

Hall Managers (HMs)  are more experienced RMs who have been given additional training and responsibility to help guide and mentor a group of RMs. HMs assist the professional, live-in staff members we call Assistant Directors for Residential Education (ADs) in overseeing everything that happens within an area (a designated group or residence halls or apartments).

RMs and HMs are hired early each spring semester for the following academic year. Check out our Employment Opportunities page for more information about applying to be a RM.
