Area Coordinators are live-in professional staff who support residents, respond to emergencies, and serve as liaisons to various campus offices. They supervise CAs, student staff, who promote and build community.
A Community Advisor (CA) is a student staff member who serves as a resource to help you adjust to your home away from home. They will be a resource to your academic major, on campus services, programs/events, and policies of the university.
