Each residence hall at Emory has a team of staff members who work cooperatively to build and maintain a feeling of community in the halls. Residence hall staff members receive extensive training throughout the year in order that they may provide help and direction to the residents of their hall.
Residents have many resources for information, counseling, education, and general information.
The Office of Residence Life provides the central support network for all in-building staff including Residence Hall Directors, Community Coordinators, Resident Advisers, Sophomore Advisers, and Desk Receptionists. Through these staff members the majority of the programmatic activities are coordinated and executed. In addition, the Residence Life Office overseas all housing assignments for graduate and undergraduate students, including the undergraduate housing lottery. The Residence Life Office advises a variety of student groups and offers numerous leadership positions to encourage residents to make an investment in their community. We believe that the success of the residence hall environment depends upon the cooperative efforts among the professional staff, the student staff, and the students within the residential community.
