Staff Positions

Desk Assistant

DAs are hired to staff the front desks in each residence hall. DAs are the first smiling face that residents see when they come home, and in many cases DAs get to know every resident in their hall! DAs are responsible for managing visitation of guests, checking out equipment to residents, and addressing policy violations.

Desk Manager

DMs are hired to assist the Area Director in supervising the Desk Assistant staff. DMs are responsible for scheduling the desk shifts, managing shift swaps, and assisting in payroll management.

All positions are currently filled for the 2012-2013 academic year.
