Community Advisors are a select group of upperclassmen students who have demonstrated an interest in developing and assisting their fellow students. The Community Advisor lives and oversees a floor of students in the residence halls. Community Advisors are trained in a number of different areas including crisis management, conflict resolution, and event planning. Interviews will be led by the Community Director staff.
Our Team
The Director of Residential Life and Education provides leadership and guidance to the entire residential Doane community. They serve as the Senior Housing Officer and Chief Judicial Officer. Their office is located in the Perry Campus Center.
Community Directors (CD) are trained professionals who oversee the smooth operation of our residence halls. They are available to students in their residence hall offices Monday through Thursday 9am-5pm and Fridays from 9am-4:30pm, and at least one CD is always on call for the University. Supporting the Community Advisors and promoting student success are their primary responsibilities.
Community Advisors (CA) are peer resources in the residence halls. Each CA is a trained, mature student who helps check residents in and out of their room, plans activities and events for their hall, serves as a resource for students' needs, and is on duty periodically for emergencies. CAs are available in their rooms most evenings; when their doors are open, feel free to stop by and say hello! For more information on joining our team as a Community Advisor, please reach out to a ResLife team member.
