Resident Assistants live on most floors and reside in many houses. Primarily, the RAs are a major resource for students living in the halls. They actively engage in developing community, serve as support persons, and are the connection between the student body and the administrative staff.

RAs receive extensive training and work with students in the following areas:

• Peer counseling
• Building inclusive communities
• Educational and social programming
• Conflict mediation (roommate conflicts, relationship problems)
• Crisis intervention
• Creating and modeling an inclusive living and learning environment
• Campus resources and referrals
• Policy enforcement/Community norm setting

 

The office assistants do a wide variety of tasks and works primarily with the Operations Coordinator. They may file paperwork, do data entry, oversee student storage, or complete creative marketing materials for the office. The work is quite varied and changes from day to day.

During the summer, Beloit College hosts a number of events on campus and also takes time to prepare for the upcoming school year. The summer conference staff helps with set-up, tear-down, and overall operations for campus events. This job sometimes requires heavy lifting and other physical demands.

Currently, there is one full-time Operations Coordinator. This position involves a great deal of multi-tasking and oversight of the day-to-day functions in the office.

There are three RLCs at Beloit College. Each RLC oversees a complex of residential buildings and supervises approximately 10-14 RAs. The RLCs’ primary role is to support the RAs. Additionally, the RLCs offer basic counseling, mentoring, mediation, and disciplinary meetings for the general student body.

They each also have several collateral assignments; for example, Title IX Investigator, SEAL Coordinator, Greek Life Coordinator, Sustained Dialogue, Website Management, Res Life Shuttle Bus Coordinator.

The Director oversees the departmental budget, Title IX Investigations, and major team projects. They also help oversee the management and upkeep of the Residence Halls, as well as respond to major crisis situations.
