Residence Coordinators:

The Heidelberg University Residence Coordinators have a wide range of responsibility for the residential and housing aspects of Heidelberg's campus. The Residence Coordinators provide guidance, leadership, and supervision to the Resident Advisors (RAs), and they also assist the Office of Student Affairs in coordinating campus events and leadership programs and advising campus organizations.
Residence Coordinators are part of the on-campus residential community, living in apartments located inside residence halls. It is important that they live in the halls so that they can assist students with their transition, help with problems, supervise the RA Staff, walk through the facilities and handle maintenance concerns, interact with students, and serve on the campus-wide emergency on-call rotation system.  With the help of RAs, Residence Coordinators also assist in handling roommate conflicts and work to maintain a safe and well-kept environment. Residence Coordinators maintain an office in Campus Center.
