Live-In Staff
RAs
Resident Assistants are upperclass students who have been specially selected and trained to work with students in the residence halls at the College of Charleston. RAs are peers who live on the same hall (or in the same house) with students. The RA's job is to aid in creating a positive living and learning environment for your student. Together with the help of other staff members and students, RAs work to plan educational programs, floor or house socials, help enforce residence hall policies, and assist in promoting positive roommate/suitemate relations.

RHDs
Residence Hall Directors are normally graduate students pursuing a Masters degree in Student Personnel, Counseling, Education, or a related field. RHDs are also specially selected and trained to work with students in many of the same ways that RAs provide assistance. RHDs have additional responsibilities for the leadership of an entire building (or group of houses), and for supervision of the RA staff.

Residents needing assistance should first contact their RA. The following Live-In staff members supervise RAs.
