Complex Directors & Assistant Complex Directors

Complex Directors and Assistant Complex Directors play a pivotal role in shaping the residential experience for students. They are responsible for creating a supportive and inclusive community that fosters student engagement, academic success, and personal development. Through mentoring, conflict resolution, and programming, they ensure that residents feel connected and empowered. By working closely with Resident Assistants, campus partners, and students, they address challenges, celebrate successes, and create traditions that strengthen the sense of belonging in the residence halls. Their leadership cultivates an environment where students can thrive both academically and socially.
