Working in Residence Life is always rewarding, and it’s important to find the institution where you can grow, develop and have an impact. Western Michigan University is one of those. Our hall directors and graduate assistants continuously talk about concepts of opportunity, coworker and department support, and developing a strong student affairs experience.

“Western Michigan University is an awesome place to both work and live! The city [of Kalamazoo] is amazing and the campus life is very diverse. The Residence Life department is very intentional about staff development and even allows room for autonomy.”

Briana Hendrix, Graduate Assistant Hall Director

“My coworkers here are awesome. As a first year hall director, I was a little worried at first on how it would be transitioning from a grad role at a different university to a full-time position at my alma mater. My colleagues are great resources and have helped me make my transition to being a full-time staff member easier.”

Nate Robinson, Hall Director

“[One] of the main things that I have liked about my experience as an assistant hall director is that this position provides me many opportunities for leadership, professional development, and relatable work experience that will be useful in a future career in student affairs. The positive support and guidance from my hall director and peer mentor has helped to ensure my success and happiness as an assistant hall director.”
