Residential Life Coordinators

The Residential Experience team oversees the experience of living on campus, aiding in community and student development, crisis intervention, residential programming, and support for day-to-day community needs.

There are five Residential Life Coordinators in campus housing, situated in different buildings. An RLC is a specially trained full-time university employee, specializing in college student development, community building, counseling, and crisis intervention.

The RLCs supervise the Resident Associates (RAs) on overall student wellness and community programming. The RLCs also assist Housing with the management and daily operations of Caltech Facilities. They are a fantastic resource, usually just a few steps away!

Program Ideas

Residential life is a highly collaborative group, and the RLCs love seeing student ideas come to fruition. Students can always let us know what kinds of things they'd like to see in their community

Resource Referral

All residential staff (RLCs and RAs) are knowledgeable of campus resources that can assist students mentally, physically, academically, and socially. We often know the folks in those offices!

Community Issues

While a great arena for growth, communal living does not come without its challenges. RLCs can assist with interpersonal and community wide issues or concerns.

Emergency Support

RLCs help manage various kinds of emergencies on campus and complete differing levels of follow-up to ensure the safety and comfortability of all students on campus.
