Professional Staff

What's an RHD?

The Residence Hall Director (RHD) is a full time, live-in professional staff member. RHDs are not students. The RHD is responsible for the long range planning as well as day-to-day operations of the building, supervision of the Resident Assistants (RAs),  and is the Mews and Loving House representative to its parent organizations (Housing and Residence Life, Student Campus Life, and Cornell University.) This is the professional staff member students should reach out to for matters that they are not comfortable discussing with their RA. RHDs can provide resources, liaise with campus partners, offer guidance, mediate difficult conversations, and more.

What's a Faculty-in-Residence?

North Campus Faculty-in-Residence play a fundamental role in the North Campus living-learning community, helping to create a shared experience and supportive environment that fosters academic and intellectual learning, personal development, holistic well-being, and a sense of belonging and connectedness. While Faculty-in-Residence are pivotal to each of these dimensions, Faculty-in-Residence play a leadership role in the dimension of learning. FIRs are not involved in housing placements, student conduct, RA supervision, or facilities concerns.

Student Leaders

What's an RA?

The RAs are live-in student staff members who have gone through extensive training to work in undergraduate residence halls. Areas of training include educational programming, resource referrals, community building, and crisis management. The Mews and Loving House community has 9 RAs, and you may go to any of them if you have questions or problems. There is an RA on call every night of the week and on the weekends to respond to any emergencies in the building. The RAs will be some of the first people you meet upon moving into the building. They are here because they care about you and want your experience to be as successful and positive as possible!
