This includes onboarding new employees, providing ongoing coaching and instruction, and maintaining training materials that reflect current policies and procedures. The role ensures staff are prepared to respond to emergencies, communicate effectively, and perform their responsibilities in alignment with Housing and Residence Life and University expectations.
