About the Position

Campus Living is seeking candidates for two positions: Campus Living Community Coordinator (CLCC) or Campus Living Community Assistant Coordinator (CLCAC). The position offered will be determined based on the needs of the department, the assigned Campus Living Community, and the candidate’s qualifications and experience. Both positions are 12-month, full-time, live-in roles that support the daily operations, student development, staff supervision, and community engagement of a Campus Living Community.

The Campus Living Community Coordinator or Assistant Coordinator supports students, staff, and the department in advancing the mission of Campus Living through staff supervision, community member engagement, operational processes, and attention to community facility needs. Depending on the position and assigned community, the role supports a Campus Living Community of approximately 350–800 residents and assists with the supervision, development, training, and evaluation of Community Assistants and, when applicable, graduate student staff.

In collaboration with departmental staff and campus partners, the Campus Living Community Coordinator or Assistant Coordinator implements a community engagement framework that reflects current student development needs and trends. The position contributes to developing and maintaining a comprehensive, enriching, and connected campus living experience that promotes student success, engagement, belonging, and employee development.

The position supports the day-to-day functioning of the Campus Living Community by addressing student and staff concerns, assisting with operational needs, responding to facility-related matters, and fostering a safe, welcoming, and supportive residential environment. The role works collaboratively with campus partners and departmental colleagues to identify community needs, implement programs and initiatives, and support student learning and development.

The Campus Living Community Coordinator or Assistant Coordinator participates in rotating Tier 2 on-call coverage, including weekday, weekend, and holiday shifts. Responsibilities include responding to a wide range of high-level and critical incidents, providing emergency and crisis support, and offering consultation and assistance to Community Assistant Tier 1 on-call staff. The position requires sound judgment, effective communication, and collaboration with appropriate campus resources during emergency and crisis situations.

During the summer months, the Campus Living Community Coordinator or Assistant Coordinator assists with the hiring, training, supervision, and evaluation of summer student staff. The position also participates in scheduled on-call coverage, responds to emergencies and critical incidents, addresses summer community concerns, and assists with building preparations and room turnover in designated residential facilities housing student and non-student occupants.

While both positions share core responsibilities, the Campus Living Community Coordinator provides primary responsibility for the overall management of an assigned campus living community and may supervise approximately 7–17 Community Assistants and, in larger communities, a CLC Graduate Assistant. The Campus Living Community Assistant Coordinator assists with the daily management and operations of a larger campus living community and may assist with the supervision of approximately 17–22 Community Assistants. Both positions play an important role in supporting student success, staff development, community engagement, residential operations, and a connected campus living experience.
