A strong candidate is one who has innovative ideas, can multitask, works well with others, and can approach projects collaboratively towards the holistic development of the individual – academically, psychologically, and physically. All RHDs are partners in supporting students. While each staff member has specific duties and program responsibilities, the person who will thrive in this position is one who can observe and support students and staff effortlessly.
• Other duties as assigned.
