The Director of Residential Education oversees the
Residential Education program and directly supervises the Associate
Directors.
Associate Directors assist the Director in management of
the Residential Education program. The specific responsibilities of the two ADs
include supervision of the Community Directors (CDs), management of the student
staff selection and training processes, and management of the Graduate Advisor
Program. They also work with the CDs in managing some of the more serious
community, behavioral, and staff issues that arise.
The Community Director (CD) is a professional live-in staff
member who supervises the cluster staff, provides leadership and management for
his or her cluster, and may prove helpful when students are dealing with a
problem or just want to hang out and chat. The CD also serves as a liaison to
the Office of Residential Life and many other departments on campus. A CD may
be seen cooking pancakes at the weekly Breakfast for a Buck program in the
River Cluster or working with the Cluster Council in East Wheelock.
Undergraduate Advisors (UGAs) are upperclass students who
live on each floor in the residential clusters. UGAs are generally responsible
for providing individual support and advising to residents; facilitating the
development of communities that support and enhance the intellectual, cultural,
and social development of residents; and assisting the Office of Residential
Life in fulfilling its mission and values. They serve as great sources of
information for almost anything about life at Dartmouth. We have 120 UGA
positions on campus and employ about 150 students each year.
The Graduate Advisor (GA) is a current Masters or Doctoral
candidate at Dartmouth College. There is a GA on each residential cluster
staff. GAs serve as academic mentors and role models for students, especially
those who are interested in pursuing their education at the graduate level. GAs
have been known to talk about their research over coffee or to even bring a
real human brain to a program!
