Residence Life<br />

Residence Life Staff<br />

Annie Jones, Director of Residence Life is charged with residence life initiatives<br />

and community development, including program implementation, working with<br />

students and their housing assignments and overseeing daily operations. The<br />

student staff consists of Resident Advisors and a professional staff of Resident<br />

Coordinators (RCs). RCs reside in or near each hall, are on-call evenings and<br />

weekends, and have particular expertise and interest in providing personal<br />

support, assisting with individual or group problem solving, mediating conflicts<br />

and promoting the development of community. The RCs are: Valerie Chambers,<br />

Deborah Taylor, Debbie Thomas and Crystal Collins.<br />

Serving as a Resident Advisor (RA) is an excellent student leadership position.<br />

Their role is to be a resource to students, to build community in student<br />

residence areas and to serve as a liaison with the Office of Residence Life and<br />

aid the <strong>College</strong> in its overall operation of the residence life program. In addition,<br />

they support the Orientation program, assisting with new student transition to<br />

<strong>Sweet</strong> <strong>Briar</strong>.<br />

The following are general guidelines for Residence Life. Each residence area<br />

maintains, to some degree, its own identity and, upon a majority and/or<br />

unanimous vote, depending upon the issue, may establish through a community<br />

agreement additional guidelines than those described in this <strong>Handbook</strong>.<br />

Terms and Conditions of <strong>College</strong> Residency<br />

Residential living is an integral part of the <strong>College</strong> community. It is an<br />

opportunity to grow, learn and share; a time to establish meaningful<br />

relationships, to learn more about oneself through daily interaction with others,<br />

and to accept the responsibilities and privileges of group living in a college<br />
