They also work with Residents' Interhall Congress, hall governments and resident assistants. The resident directors are required to have office hours in their offices, which are also located within the residence halls. During these hours, students can stop by and address any concerns they have. The Few, The Proud Rodney Bardwell, Pomfret Hall resident director, is the only full-time resident director. Bardwell said his typical day consists of a meeting with staff members, working closely with housekeeping and maintenance staff and interacting with students both formally and informally.
Resident directors meet with students formally for various reasons.
Judicial Affairs are one type of formal meeting. When residents are caught violating residence hall rules, they may be required to meet with a resident director to discuss policies and the consequences of violations. Resident directors also meet formally with students at hall senate meetings, which they attend regularly. Directors meet informally with the students through casual conversation in the hallways, dining centers and throughout the campus. They are the ones living here.
