Residence Hall Director

Quinnipiac University invites applications for a Residential Hall Director to join our vibrant, student-centered residential community and play a meaningful role in supporting student success, engagement, and belonging. Located on our beautiful Mount Carmel campus in Hamden, Connecticut, this full-time, year-round, live-in position offers an exciting opportunity to cultivate an inclusive and engaging living-learning environment where students thrive academically, socially, and personally.

Residence Hall Directors serve as key student affairs professionals within the Division of Student Affairs and are responsible for fostering community development, supporting student wellness, responding to student concerns, and enhancing the residential student experience through leadership, mentorship, education, and crisis response. Through collaboration with campus partners, Residence Hall Directors contribute to a dynamic residential experience grounded in student development and holistic support.

Residence Hall Directors are required to reside exclusively in a designated campus apartment, participate in an on-call duty rotation with in-person response responsibilities, and maintain a visible and engaged presence within their assigned residential communities during evenings and weekends.

Exercising considerable independent judgment and decision-making, Residence Hall Directors oversee a residential area and supervise between 7–17 paraprofessional staff members.

The ideal candidate will demonstrate a strong commitment to student development, inclusive community building, crisis management, and collaborative problem-solving within a fast-paced residential environment.
