Cornell University is seeking a full-time Residence Hall Director for the Latino Living Center (LLC) to join their team. Paramount to achieving our mission is advocacy for academic inquiry, student development, respect for the individual, and the promotion of just communities. We strive to provide a safe, comfortable, residential experience designed to educate, challenge and develop our students. The department’s unique programs create a dynamic work environment, resulting in career growth through valuable professional experiences.

Our Residential Programs include: 75 Faculty Fellows programming actively with students and Residence Hall Directors, 8 Cooperative houses, 8 Faculty-in-Residence interacting with a community of students and staff, graduate and professional student housing, 8 Themed Houses, with foci on ethnicity, culture, arts, music, and ecology, award-winning residential governance, a focused First-Year Residential Experience on North Campus, intentionality to the upper-class and transfer student experience in Collegetown, collaborative opportunities with other campus departments outside Residential and New Student Programs, and funded professional development opportunities.

The Residence Hall Director (RHD) position for the Latino Living Center provides community and program development, administrative management, and support for 55 residents (first-year, transfers, and upper class students).  The Latino Living Center is one of 8 Themed Houses on North Campus and residents represent a wide variety of heritages and backgrounds, but all share a common interest in Latino/a culture, history, and current events.  Their appreciation for the values of Latino/a heritage includes respect for individuals, dedication to education, commitment to community, and the importance of family.  The RHD is responsible for facilitating and supporting faculty-student interaction, student development, and to select, supervise, train and evaluate 4-5 student staff members. The RHD will work collaboratively with a group of Faculty Fellows and various Campus Partners.  Additionally, the RHD may be assigned a leadership role with the Pre-freshman Summer Program, a summer program for approximately 150 new students to support a smooth transition from high school to Cornell.
