There are six coordinators of residence education (CREs) who work in their satellite offices in their respective residence halls. A coordinator of residence education is a Campus Life professional staff member with the overall administrative responsibility of residence hall and budget management, student discipline, and paraprofessional program coordination. The overall goal of the CRE is to facilitate the development of community living among residents.

Campus Life is also staffed by a total of three team leaders and 19 staff residential assistants and more than 75 graduate and undergraduate student paraprofessionals. Campus Life also runs numerous student paraprofessional programs such as the resident assistant, peer advisor, hall resident advisor, senior peer advisor, office assistant, and commuter lounge assistant programs.

The resident assistant (RA) is a student paraprofessional who assists the CRE in the RH office in their residence halls and works closely with residents on their respective floors. The RA also helps students with personal concerns, assists in the development of programs and activities, and monitors building maintenance.

The peer advisor (PA) is a student paraprofessional who works as a team with members of the Mental Health Center. PAs are responsible for counseling, advising, and programming in the freshmen residence halls.

The central office is located in Ely Center, Room 132.
