Position Overview
Assistant Residential Directors (ARD) operate at a higher level with respect to residential and administrative responsibilities than the Head Counselor position, and they supervised by a team of two Residential Directors. ARDs may supervise up to five Head Counselors and should expect to collaborate daily with other ARDs, Residential Directors, and the year-round Stanford Pre-Collegiate Studies staff to plan, implement, and supervise residential components of the program. The ARD role requires a high level of responsibility, self-direction, management and problem-solving skills, good judgment, communication, professionalism, and discretion.

Your responsibilities as Assistant Residential Director include:

  • Serving as the main on-site point person for interfacing with parents and Stanford University offices.
  • Managing serious disciplinary issues and medical emergencies involving participants and staff, including tracking incident report content and trends
  • Fostering and promoting an inclusive environment for all participants, staff, and SPCS community members
  • Guiding participants in educational initiatives centered around individual development, wellness, community engagement, and inclusion
  • Assuring the well-being of participants by helping them physically navigate campus and off-campus locations and completing rounds of multi-story buildings to conduct wellness checks
  • Leading and participating in afternoon, evening, and weekend recreational and social activities

    To be successful in this position, you will bring:
  • Bachelor's degree by the start of the summer
  • Exceptional interpersonal, communication, and leadership skills
  • Strong organizational skills and ability to delegate
  • Enthusiasm, responsibility, and team-building skills
  • Ability to maintain calmness under pressure
  • The readiness to attend approximately ten hours of pre-summer meetings and trainings during Spring Quarter (some of which can be done online)
  • Availability for mandatory training from June 17 - June 23, 2019
  • Availability for an entire program (for example, both Session 1 & Session 2 of the Summer Institutes)
    Additionally, you will preferably bring:
  • At least one year of experience as a Residential Assistant, or comparable residential leadership experience
  • Previous summer camp/program experience or experience leading student groups
  • Availability for the entire summer by combining an earlier program with a later one (e.g., Summer Institutes and Online High School)
