The Office of Residence Life at Alfred University offers the unique opportunity to students interested in the field of student affairs to apply what is
learned in the classroom to their own residence hall environment. Each graduate Resident Director completely supervises all aspects of a living area
comprised of residential students, paraprofessional staff, and management of facilities. Participation in an on-call crisis response team and service as
a judicial hearing officer, in addition to experiences gained given the cyclical nature of a residence life department, creates tremendous opportunities
for individual growth in a small, safe environment with ample mentors available and dedicated to your professional development. The successful
candidate will achieve a graduate degree from the Counseling program (preferably) and have gained experience in a wide variety of areas that
provide a solid foundation for the next step professionally typically at the area coordinator or assistant director level.
