Professional Opportunities:

The Residence Director (RD)

The RDs are live-in professional staff employed to manage their respective residential areas. RDs are responsible for the health, safety and overall management and well-being of the resident population and their guests and are an integral part of the ORLL. RDs work in collaboration with Residential Facilities to ensure a safe and clean living environment. They also promote a sense of community and serve as a resource for the students within their area of responsibility. They are knowledgeable of all university and residential policies and procedures and assist the Assistant Director of Community and Judicial Affairs by meeting with students involved in lower level residential policy violations. There are ten Resident Directors on campus. RDs provide on-call coverage to the residential community on a rotating weekly basis during non-business hours. There is an uphill RD on call and a downhill RD on call. If students need assistance from the RD on call, they can contact TUPD at 7-3030, or another member of the in-hall residential staff.

For additional information concerning the RD position and/or application process, please contact Doreen.Long@tufts.edu.
