The Programming and Engagement Coordinator (PEC) supports initiatives in the areas of Residence Life programming, student engagement, and living-learning communities. The PEC coordinates the implementation and delivery of programming in our residence, assists in training and supervision of student staff, helps develop new initiatives intended to heighten the involvement and engagement of students in the Residence Community, the University, and the broader Halifax community, and is also involved with living-learning communities in residence.

 

Residence Coordinators

This year’s Residence Coordinator are:

Shreetee Appadu

Residence Coordinator, Loyola

Srishti Anthonia

Residence Coordinator, Vanier 

Salman Sadib

Residence Coordinator, Rice

Each of the three residences in our community (Loyola, Rice and Vanier) has a live-in, professional Residence Coordinator (RC). RCs assist with the supervision of our student staff (RAs) and also serve as mentors, administrators, and community advisors. Residence Coordinators work with the RAs to identify student and community needs and then develop programs designed to the academic goals of the university and promote responsible behaviour among students (including intervention and follow-up with individuals experiencing behavioural/disciplinary issues or other personal challenges). RCs also participate in an after-hours on-call system throughout the academic year.

 

Student Staff

Residence Life hires over 80 student staff every year to support the Residence Life mission and vision. We promote student engagement in various residence programming teams and committees, such as the Multicultural Committee, RainBEAU Committee, Res Wellness Team, and Res Consent Project.
