Residence Coordinators (RCs) are live-in professional staff members who oversee specific residence halls (known as houses or Quads). They ensure a safe and supportive learning environment for all students.  They supervise the RA staff, advise councils, support students of concerns, serve as conduct hearing officers, manage facilities concerns, and engage with residential students to support belonging, engagement, and well-being. They serve in the RC on-call rotation.
