Residence Life and Housing
Heidi LeCount, Director, 760-8633
8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.
(For a complete listing of residence life policies and
services, please refer to the Guide to Community Living
section at the back of this handbook.) Resident
students at Meredith enjoy many opportunities while
living on campus. Enjoyment of these opportunities
depends upon personal involvement as well as personal
commitment to the welfare and needs of those living
together. Each resident must take personal responsibility
to abide by the rules and regulations so that the
group as a whole can function effectively and benefit
from the creative interaction of residence hall living.
The residence life staff provides a program of student
services designed to enrich the quality of life of
Meredith students. The residential setting, as a
living/learning dimension of campus life, is perhaps
the single most important synthesis of classroom
learning and College experience activity. The residence
life staff includes the director of residence
life, residence life assistant, residence directors,
resident assistants, and residence hall presidents.
Residence Directors
Residence directors are professional staff members in
the Division of Student Development who live in apartments
in the residence halls on campus. They perform
a variety of duties on campus, working through the
Office of Residence Life, as well as being available
to assist any student with questions or problems.
Residence directors supervise the work of resident
assistants and serve as a resource to all campus
students. Residence Directors—see page 224.
Resident Assistants
Resident assistants live on each floor of the residence
hall, are supervised by the residence director
of their residence hall, and serve as her assistant.
Resident assistants are part of the staff of the
Office of Residence Life and receive financial compensation.
For resident assistant names and contact
information, see page 224.
