Residence Life: Staff Selection and Training
Site Supervisor: Martin Petrella & Rachael Padula
The Residence Life staff is charged with developing a strong inclusive community among a widely diverse group of residents. The mission of the Staff Selection & Training unit is to strengthen Residence Life staff. We do this by 1) recruiting and selecting individuals with a range of skills, experiences, and backgrounds that best serve our student population, and 2) implementing an outcomes-based training curriculum that centers learning, wellness, and our diverse residential community. Goals of this field placement include participating in the RA/AA selection process, gaining experience analyzing assessment data, leading interview feedback meeting with candidates, and working on one or two other projects within the Staff Selection & Training unit.
Tasks the Field Experience student will complete include:
Assist in the preparation for RA/AA Interview Weekend
Participate in RA/AA Interview Weekend (First weekend after Spring semester classes begin, second weekend if there is a cancellation due to snow)
Evaluate application process from beginning to end, including all forms
Participate in and lead meetings with students who were not selected for a Resident Assistant position to give feedback on their interview performance
Compile and analyze assessment data from Winter Training
Create recommendations for future processes on ways change process to find candidates that meet the needs of department.
In addition to the “everyday” tasks listed above, the Field Experience student will choose 1-2 larger projects from a pre-determined list to make their own to bring from start to finish over the course of the semester. Each of these projects will be related to the recruitment, selection, training, and/or development of Residence Life staff. Projects will rotate yearly, and a list of the current year’s projects will be sent to prospective Field Experience students prior to interviews in October.
