The SBG also promotes the welfare and interests of the students at MSSD and facilitates cooperation among the members of the school. Residence Hall Government Students living in the four MSSD dormitories, which accommodate 50-55 students each, elect several leaders. These leaders, plus a student body government member, form a residence hall association that works closely with the residence hall staff to establish dorm rules, and to keep the dorm safe, comfortable, and educational. All students take on the responsibility for governing their residence halls, for keeping the residence hall a clean, comfortable, and happy place to five, and for providing an educational environment where students are able to focus on their studies and homework daily. Each residence hall is staffed by a coordinator of residence education.
Coordinators generally hold master's degrees in fields related to education and student development.
Each residence hall is divided into wings and a residence education assistant oversees the students in his or her wing. Supervision and coverage is provided to all students residing in the MSSD dormitories including overnight and weekend supervision.
