- 8 - NSU Office of Residence Life Residence Hall Staff The NSU Office of Residence Life utilizes a variety of staff members to provide our students with a living environment that best serves their needs. In addition to our administrative staff in the Office of Residence Life, we also have three professional Residential Coordinators. These full-time professional live-in staff members each live on campus and supervise our para-professional and student staff members to ensure the best possible service to the residents in the halls while maintaining different facets of the operations of the halls. The Residential Community Coordinator is primarily responsible for the housing placements, room changes, and room consolidations. The Residential Education Coordinator is primarily responsible for the continuous training of the student staff in the Residence Halls and programmatic support. The Residential Facilities Coordinator is primarily responsible for all maintenance requests within our Residencial Facilities and to act as a bridge between the Office of Residence Life and Facilities to the Student(s). Senior Community Assistants (SCA) are upper-class students with a breadth of knowledge regarding on-campus living and have been selected and trained to assist in the day-today operation of their respective hall. Do not hesitate to take advantage of their knowledge to make your on-campus experience better, The Community Assistant (CA) is the community facilitator living within each community with the students. The CA is a student that is specially trained to work with the residents. The CA is responsible for developing a sense of community on the floor. The CA plans/facilitates programs, is responsible for administrative work on the floor, and acts as a mentor and advisor to their residents. In cooperation with the students, the CA enforces the policies and procedures in the residence halls. One of the first persons each student will meet when they get to Northern is their Community Assistant. Each CA has met special criteria (2.40 GPA or better, residence hall living experience, and is in good standing with the University) and has been trained to best promote community development. In conjunction with the RHA Hall Councils, the CA will hold floor and wing meetings through-out the year to keep students up to date on campus and residence hall events. They will help facilitate programming to enhance student’s academic experience outside of the classroom. They are also a resource person for the residents and are available to assist them in any and all facets of their college experience. Our Housekeepers work within the Facilities Management Department to assure that residents have clean public areas to live and learn in. However, each resident is responsible for their own hall rooms as well as their own bathroom areas in those halls that provide private and semi-private bathrooms. We hope that you come to know and rely on your residence hall staff. They are all anxious to assist you in any way possible. If you are interested in joining our staff, talk to your current CA or inquire at the Office of Residence Life.
