Resident Director 101 is the resource I wish I had when I was starting out as a part-time Resident Director in grad school. I started my housing and residence life career in 2006 and have served in various housing and residence life positions at three different institutions in two states.

During my 13 years in ResLife, I gathered a wealth of experience and knowledge that I would like to pass on to others who may benefit from it. I created many of the materials and resources on this site to educate and develop my staff teams and first-time RDs.

Peruse the tips, tricks, and tools that made my job easier and helped make what could be a stressful job at times, much easier.

It is my hope that you take what you need from these resources, adapt them for your own use, and find professional success.
