Residence Life Staff

WHO’S WHO IN YOUR RESIDENCE COMMUNITY

Residence Life at on Rider University'Princeton campus is committed to creating an environment in which each member of the community can achieve his/her highest potential.  We strive to develop a community that recognizes the values of every individual.

The Residence Life staff is dedicated to creating a supportive atmosphere that is stimulating, dynamic and energetic.  In each endeavor, we are committed to providing learning experiences that will enhance each student’s social, cultural, physical and moral development.

Student Life Coordinator (SLC)

The Student Life Coordinator supervises the 2 Graduate Residence Directors, as well as aids in the management of the residence halls and the students that live on-campus.  Additionally, the Student Life Coordinator coordinates Residence Life programming efforts and advises the Student Finance Board.

  • Kanoa Greene, Dayton and Ithaca Halls                                                                        greeneh@rider.edu  (609) 683-6601

The two Residence Directors are graduate students who reside on-campus and supervise the Resident Advisors.  They oversee community standards and maintenance concerns of their building(s) and ensure the effective operation of their residence hall(s).  They are always available for student and staff support when needed.  RDs help the RAs to facilitate and advocate an active residence community on their floor, in their buildings, and in the general Princeton campus community.

The Residence Directors are available for appointments during regularly scheduled office hours in Seabrook 101.

Resident Advisors (RAs) - 2008-09

  • Seabrook 1st:  Crystal Charles
  • Seabrook 2nd:  Louis Spinelli
  • Seabrook 3rd:  Christina Dennis 
  • Dayton 1st:  Christine Snow
  • Dayton 2nd:  Kenneth Ellerbee 
  • Ithaca 1st:  David Zas 
  • Ithaca 2nd:  Moriah Wynkoop

Each residence hall floor has its own RA and it will soon become apparent that he/she has many roles.  An RA is there to listen, mediate roommate or floor concerns, facilitate programming, refer students to the appropriate offices when they have special concerns and/or to report violations of residence hall rules.  One additional responsibility of each RA is to conduct floor meetings throughout the semester.  Floor meetings are mandatory and it is each student’s responsibility to attend them, as pertinent information will be addressed at these meetings.  RAs serve as a very important resource and provide leadership and guidance in establishing a hall community.  Do not hesitate to go to an RA with any questions, problems or concerns.

On Call

A Resident Advisor is on call each night from 7 pm - 7 am to assist the community with lock outs and community issues. RAs also have office hours in Seabrook 101 every night from 7 - 9 pm if students need assistance.

Calendars with the on call calendar and phone number are posted outside of each RA room door.
