A WORD FROM OUR

DIRECTOR Dear Prospective Colleague, Thank you for expressing an interest in the Residence Hall Director position with the department of Residential Living at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point.

We also take pride in giving our Residence Hall Directors a great deal of freedom as well as support to make their halls a dynamic place to live. As you look through this booklet, I hope it answers many of your questions and encourages you to consider the opportunities Stevens Point has to offer. As a department, we know you have some important career decisions ahead of you. If you feel UW-Stevens Point will be a good fit for you, we would like the opportunity to learn more about you through the application process. Take care and we look forward to hearing from you.
