Making A Difference

Becoming a community advocate (CA), programming advocate (PA), assistant community director (ACD) or a community director (CD) is a game changer.  Leadership, friendship and growth — you’ll get them all.

Our residence halls are staffed with a fun-loving group of students and professional staff. Our goal is to make the halls a safe and welcoming environment. Joining the team will give you real-world skills and you will be trained to help deal with conflict, build community and be a resource to students in your residence halls.

Community Living Positions


Community Advocate (CA)

Each residence hall has at least one CA per floor. CAs are full-time students who act as a liaison between the students living on their floor and the campus community. They help build community by doing a wide range of programming, holding floor meetings and by assisting in keeping the residence halls safe and secure. Many of the students who apply to be CAs are typically leaders and role models on our campus who personify what it means to be a good leader on a college campus and in the surrounding community.

Programming Advocate (PA)

The role of the programming advocate is to develop and facilitate programming efforts geared towards first-year students. The primary role of the programming advocate is to implement creative events that help build community among all first-year students living on-campus.  

Assistant Community Director (ACD)

Assistant community director is a vital part of our community living team, having responsibilities of oversight of a residence hall and supervision of 6 to 8 community advocates. These graduate assistantship-level team members assist with the day-to-day operations of their assigned residence hall, serve in the on-call system, assist with building wide programming and residential student development. 

Community or Hall Director (CD)

CDs are full time professional staff members who have oversight of the day-to-day functions of multiple residence halls, supervision of 6-9 CAs and up to 2 ACDs. Community directors play a vital role in making sure our buildings are safe, well maintained and fun places to live. Community directors also serve on-call and are the main point of contact for our on-campus students.
