LSU Residential Life staff wear many hats. One of those hats is student/academic success. In the session, we will discuss how we have incorporated academic success procedures into the Residence Coordinator role. This includes the training sessions we provide for our professional staff and resident assistants both during summer training and throughout the academic year. There are also training sessions on academic programming, working with partners across campus, and working with our two Faculty in Residence.
