Job Summary
Residential Educators live within the learning community providing education and support to the students, who, in addition to their academic program, are also learning how to live, socialize and access resources on a college campus. In addition, educators provide residential on-duty rounds, crisis response and policy enforcement.
The ideal candidate for the role will be a recent college graduate with experience as a residential advisor and a passion for learning and working with youth.
