- Opened the much-anticipated Manzanita Village, with 800 new
spaces for residents. In response to the increased number of freshmen
residents, a new Assistant Director, Assistant Student Leadership
Coordinator, Resident Director (RD), Assistant Resident Director
(ARD) and Resident Assistants (RA’s) were added.
- Drew upon the expertise of Residential Life staff, Residence
Halls Association (RHA) staff, and support staff to get Manzanita
Village off to a great start. The new team handled many challenges,
nurtured RHA’s growth, and hosted the first “Far Side
Festival” to build community.
- Hired recent University of California, Santa Barbara graduates
with a strong history within Residential Life to serve in Resident
Director roles when immigration laws delayed entrance to the U.S.
for one of our new RD’s from Canada.
- Cooperated to handle an emergency when the campus generator
went out and all the halls spent many hours in the dark. The RAs,
ARDs and RDs did a great job in helping residents stay calm through
the dark night.
- Managed an increased number of medical transports and crises,
due to the larger number of freshmen. Counseling cases were handled
well, and cases lessened as the year progressed.
- Administered the housing application process flawlessly, with
IS support. Assignment Services gave Continuing and New students
the information that they needed in a timely way, using RMS to
its full potential.
- Negotiated changes in our growing department with the comprehensive
assistance of the support staff.
- Rotated “meetings-by-area” with our traditional all-staff
meetings to increase discussion at the area level.
- Began preparation and hiring for newly purchased Francisco Torres,
adding a new Assistant Director, RD, ARD and new RA’s for
next academic year.
- Supported and challenged RHA, as it expanded in scope and number
of student representatives. RHA Executives were successful in
their bid for the PACURH Annual conference, which will be held
at UCSB in the Fall of 2003.
- Supported and organized Hall Staff Retreats, Staff Cultural
Retreats, an RHA Retreat and a Muticultural Awareness Chairs (MAC)
Retreat.
