Residence Life Staff

Grove City College employs 11 full-time, live-in professionals known as Residence Directors (RDs). Each RD oversees the residence hall(s) where they live and are responsible for cultivating and sustaining a safe and positive student living and learning environment. RDs establish relationships with students, follow up on maintenance requests, meet with students regarding concerns and policy violations, mentor and support students, and plan co-curricular programming.

 

Students are encouraged to reach out to their RD for coffee or a meal, mentorship, encouragement, or support. Our staff comes from a variety of fields, including education, counseling, and theology, and many hold advanced degrees in higher education or a related field. The RD staff is overseen by the Director and the Assistant Director of Residence Life, both of whom have extensive experience in the field and advanced degrees in higher education.

Each residence hall employs students to serve as Resident Assistants (RAs). RAs live on and oversee a floor in a residence hall and are supervised by our Residence Directors. RAs work in teams of 5 to 12 depending on the population of the building and are responsible for relational ministry, working with their RD to ensure smooth function of the building, aiding with check-in and check-out procedures, enforcing College policy, and planning co-curricular programs throughout the school year. Students are encouraged to get to know their RA and to go to them for encouragement or support. If you are interested in becoming an RA, plan to attend an RA Info Night in November or January.
