Director of Residential Life

The Director of Residential Life ensures each student has a welcoming, positive campus experience. This includes overseeing the building maintenance and enforcing the Community Guide and the LSUA Student Code of Conduct.

Community Coordinator

The Community Coordinator for Residential Life is our live-on staff member responsible for cultivating an engaging community at The Oaks. The Community Coordinator implements programming events and provides support to our residents.

Hall Directors

The Oaks employs two Hall Directors annually. These positions represent high-level student employment opportunities, typically filled by experienced Resident Assistants. Each Hall Director oversees operations for two residence buildings and mentors half of our Resident Assistant staff.

Resident Assistants

Resident Assistants (RAs) are your primary resource while living in the Oaks Apartments. Each building has two RAs who live in the buildings and serve as your first point of contact. You can find your RA's information in the Housing office. RAs have many important responsibilities: they help with move-in and move-out, create educational programs, staff the Front Desk, perform monthly apartment inspections, etc. They also serve in an after-hours on-call rotation, ensuring residents have 24/7 access to staff support. As role models, RAs connect you to campus resources, offer advice about student life, help resolve maintenance and roommate concerns, and enforce policies—all to create a safe and fun living and learning environment.
