Un-attributable common area damage will be calculated<br />

and deducted from a fund created from a percentage<br />

of room rental payments. Should vandalism exceed<br />

the funds available, the room rate will be raised the<br />

following year to compensate; on the other hand, any<br />

funds remaining after all damage has been paid will be<br />

invested in equipment or improvement to the quality of<br />

the residential facilities.<br />

Keep in mind that if there is excessive and repetitive<br />

common area damage caused on a certain floor,<br />

residents of that floor will be charged for that damage.<br />

No grades, transcripts or degrees shall be released until<br />

all the charges, including but not limited to damage<br />

charges, have been paid.<br />

Construction<br />

At any time, construction may take place in or around<br />

residential units. No adjustments will be made to any<br />

resident’s charges at any time based solely on that<br />

construction.<br />

Johns Hopkins University<br />

Residential Life Staff & Student<br />

Organizations<br />

Assistant Directors<br />

The Assistant Directors are responsible for the overall<br />

management of the residence halls. They are full-time,<br />

professional staff members of Residential Life and are<br />

trained higher education administrators who live on<br />

campus. They encourage residents to stop in their<br />

offices and visit with questions, ideas, or concerns.<br />

Resident Advisors<br />

Resident Advisors (RA) are upper class student staff<br />

members living in designated areas of each residence<br />

hall and/or in campus apartments, providing frontline<br />

support to students in the residence halls and<br />

apartments. They are carefully selected for their<br />

concern for fellow students and their leadership<br />

qualities. Providing informal counseling to residents,<br />

planning recreational and educational programming,<br />

responding to emergencies, enforcing University<br />

policies, and serving as a resource on campus, are<br />

some of their job responsibilities.<br />

For any questions or concerns, you should contact<br />

your RA first.<br />

RAB Community Advisors<br />

(CA)<br />

The CAs live in McCoy and serve as liaisons between<br />

students and the professional staff in communicating<br />

students’ needs. They assist in the programming<br />

which occurs in the residence halls, as well as plan<br />

large scale and spontaneous activities through the<br />

Residential Advisory Board (RAB).<br />

Getting Involved<br />

Throughout your years at Hopkins, you will learn a<br />

tremendous amount from your academic work.<br />

However, there is a great deal more that you can<br />

gain if you become involved in some leadership<br />

opportunities. Students who are active outside the<br />

classroom develop invaluable skills that will give them<br />

an advantage once they enter the workforce.<br />
