Staff

Engleman and Verder Halls together are staffed by a Residence Hall Director (RHD), a Graduate Assistant (GA), and eight Resident Assistants (RAs). The staff's main goals are to provide the residents with valuable information, create a positive community through educational programming, maintain a safe and high-quality living environment, and serve as a resource whenever a student has a question or concern.

Hall Council

The Verder Hall Council also operates with the goal of improving student living. Hall Council provides all residents with an opportunity to interact with one another through weekly meetings and a variety of fun activities and programs. The Executive Board provides leadership opportunities within the hall, as well as the whole campus.

 

Required preventative maintenance is completed in each student room twice a year.
