Position Summary/Purpose of Position:

• Be knowledgeable about DFSL departmental and university policies, procedures, and resources, including our mission and vision, guiding philosophy, milestones, and theories that guide our work.
• Meet with, support, and communicate with chapter officers and alumni; attend chapter and House Corporation meetings and maintain a visible presence with these stakeholders.
• Oversee facilities and administrative tasks to ensure that the facility is maintained as a positive living/learning environment: move-in and move-out, daily walkthrough of facility, room inspections, managing building security, waste management, and life safety, maintenance reporting, and monitoring external vendor performance.
• Fulfill special staffing assignments, such as council and group advising, assessment, facilities management, special events, judicial affairs, training, hazing prevention, and/or education efforts.
• Participate in DFSL staff activities (e.g. Fall and Spring training; RD, DFSL, and House Director staff meeting) and retreats as well as other Division of Student Affairs and University professional development opportunities throughout the year.
• Meet attendance expectations at community-wide events as well as those hosted by the local chapter.
• Demonstrate mature, responsible decision-making.
• Maintain an open line of communication with DFSL staff regarding events happening in the chapter facility and/or the assigned additional advising responsibilities, including but not limited to weekly and emergency reporting (e.g. contacting the University of Maryland Police, Ambulance, Fire Department, etc.)
• Participate in a regular on-duty cycle with other Resident Directors, which involves staying in fraternity/sorority facilities, regular duty walks and responding to all issues.
• Show flexibility and adaptability in the performance of duties in order to respond to changing needs and situations.

• As a general guideline, RDs should anticipate an average of 20 hours per week of regularly scheduled responsibilities (e.g., time in the facility, staff meetings, duty, other advisory responsibilities, Graduate Assistantship responsibilities). Before opening and closing dates, RDs should expect to devote an increased amount of time in their house.
• Houses are open year-round except during Winter break when the University and chapter facilities close for one week (RDs will need to use time away for any time outside of the Dec. 25 – Jan 1. timeline for winter break).
• Houses are open during the summer but in a variety of settings (regular chapter occupancy, summer conferences, restoration work, or storage). RDs who cannot fulfill expectations during the summer will forfeit their stipends and benefits.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Must be enrolled as a full-time graduate student at the University of Maryland for the duration of the 2024-2025 academic year.

Preferences:

• Experience in residence life, facilities, and Greek-letter organizations preferred.
