2009 - 2010 Residence Life Department
Staff
Residence Life is comprised of a diverse group of staff members who work to create an engaging and educational living environment. Our staff represents a plethora of campus groups and interests and has the knowledge to successfully guide students through a fulfilling Florida Tech experience.
During the course of the 2009 - 2010 Academic year, students are encouraged to meet and connect with the Residence Life Staff and take advantage of the knowledge, experience and enthusiasm that they provide.
Resident Assistants (RAs)
RAs are undergraduate students who undergo a variety of comprehensive training workshops to prepare themselves to be a resource and facilitator for our residence hall communities. There is an RA on every floor or within every building and they are the best immediate resource for the residential student.
Resident Directors (RDs)
RDs are graduate-assistants who are responsible for the supervision of one or more residence halls in each respective area. An RD may directly supervise anywhere from 6 - 12 RAs. Many of our RDs previously served as RAs during their undergraduate years, so they have a wealth of knowledge and experience to impart to the students.
Assistant Resident Director (ARD)
The ARD is either an undergraduate or graduate student with experience as an RA, but who holds an intermediary position between the RA and RDs. The ARD is an extra resource for our students and the student staff. Many of our ARDs go on to become RDs during the course of their Florida Tech Careers.
Assistant Dean for Residence Life (ADRL)
The Assistant Dean for Residence Life is the director of the Residence Life Program at Florida Tech. The ADRL is a professional position that answers directly to the Dean of Students. In addition to directing the Residence Life program, the ADRL also serves as the Resident Director of Roberts Hall, which houses 250 of our first-year students. The Assistant Dean for Residence Life works out of the Student Life Office located on the second floor of the student union building.
