Residence Hall Director Fellows work with Residence Life & Housing staff members and the hall residents to facilitate an environment within the residence hall that will contribute to the intellectual, social, physical, moral, and cultural development of the students. The Residence Hall Director articulates to the students the philosophy and policies of the Office of Residence Life & Housing, other Campus Life Departments, the College, and other Departments and Divisions within the University and, in turn, represents and presents the needs of the students to the administration. The Residence Hall Director role is one of leadership, trust, and honor and contributes significantly to the personal growth and development of the staff member and his/her paraprofessional staff and hall residents.
Interns have a unique experience. They are employed by the Office of Residence Life & Housing, and they also work for 20 hours a week in another Campus Life Department. Positions are available in Residence Life, Admissions, Student Activity & Academic Center (at Clairmont Campus), University Conferences, the Alumni Office, Volunteer Emory, and Student Health Services.
