In the apartment areas, the Hall Director develops student resident leadership to create an active residential environment. Area Coordinators are professional staff members who oversee a building and a building staff as well as supervising two to four professional staff members. Area Coordinators are also responsible for significant Residence Life Initiatives, including training, selection, diversity, and Project Hilltop. They serve on the central leadership team for Residence Life. Faculty-in-Residence: Student and faculty interaction outside of the formal classroom setting is considered an essential characteristic of a vibrant intellectual life. As one way to foster this interaction, the Faculty in Residence program was created to provide faculty and their families the opportunity to live and interact with students while residing in a specifically designed apartment in the students' residence hall. The Faculty in Residence work in close partnership with the Residence Life staff in enhancing the intellectual environment, supporting academic excellence, providing opportunities for other faculty to interact with students, overseeing a Living-Learning Community, and integrating intellectual thought through informal and formal interactions. Chaplains-in-Residence: Georgetown University is committed to cura personalis – concern for and care of each student as a unique individual – and to the belief that learning and personal development are significantly enriched through relationships and experiences outside the classroom. Drawn from different faith traditions (currently, Catholic, Jewish, Muslim and Protestant), Georgetown’s Chaplains-in-Residence (CIRs) are central to achieving these goals. Both clergy and lay, CIRs live as neighbors in student residences and are available for everything from casual conversation to hall meetings, shared meals to community celebrations, individual guidance to gatherings for prayer, and more. Through personal invitation, presence, outreach and referral, CIRs support students as they develop as individuals, members of the Georgetown community, and faith-filled, responsible citizens of the world.
