Each residence hall has personnel
assigned to help make the experience of living there a
positive one. The Residence Life Staff is under the
supervision of
Barbara Dyer,
Director of Residence Life, whose office is located in
the Student Life Office in Edwards Commons. The
Residence Life Staff is made up of undergraduate
students who serve in the roles of Resident Directors
and Resident Assistants.
The Resident Director (RD) is an Office
of Residence Life staff member who has broad Residence
Life experience, and strong administrative and
interpersonal skills. The RD is an upperclass student
who lives in and is responsible for the general
supervision and management of one of the three
residential Houses, in addition to supervising the RAs
assigned to that House. The RD will assist the Director
of Residence Life and the Office of Residence Life in
creating a community environment conducive to the
academic success and personal growth of each resident.
The RD will also work to provide an environment
consistent with the goals and objectives of the
Residence Life Mission Statement as well as Lyon
College.
The Resident Assistants (RA) are
paraprofessional staff members for the Office of
Residence Life. The RA is the closest and most vital
link with the residents. Under the supervision of a
Resident Director, the RA is responsible for creating
and maintaining an environment within the residence hall
which is conducive to living and learning. In order to
accomplish this, the RA is expected to play a variety of
roles. The RA must be flexible and creative in meeting
the residents’ needs by serving as a resource, advisor,
community developer, educator, referral source, and
friend.
