Hello Mark,

My name is Chris Ehrhart and I am the Assistant Director of Residential Experience. My background is in Peacebuilding, and I have worked in Higher Education for over a decade. Over the last 5 years I have worked in Housing and Residence Life, and really found a home (pun intended) in this work as I love helping students find their place at UND, and love support all the great experiences students have in the halls.

As the Assistant Director of Residential Experiences, I help our staff facilitate and create a positive residential living experience for all students. This includes creating guidelines for what information is available on bulletin boards, community event focus, and reminding staff what important topics students are thinking about. Additionally, I provide support to hall government leaders through the Association of Residence Halls (ARH), and help students plan campus-wide events. In the email below, you can find more information on what life is like on campus and what you can expect next year. 

If you have any questions, please reach out to the Housing & Residence Life staff.

Assistant Director, Residential Experiences

One of the best parts of living on campus is the support that students receive from live-in staff members. Live-in means these staff members live in the same buildings or areas as the student to provide them with easy access to assistance and support. Staff is made up of three different roles:

Resident Assistant (RA)

• Current students - usually sophomore and above
• One RA for every 20-30 students
• Connect with each student monthly
• Host community program one time each month

Community Assistant (CA)

• Current students - usually junior and above
• One CA for each building area (JFS, Walsh Quad, Wilkerson)
• Provide direct support to the Resident Director

Resident Director (RD)

• Full-time staff member - already graduated from college
• One RD for each building area (JFS, Walsh Quad, Wilkerson)
• Provide direct support to the RA's, CA's, and students
• Advise hall government

92% of on-campus students surveyed report that living on campus enhanced their ability to meet other people! Life in the residence halls is designed for students to get connected with one another to build community and create life-long friendships. 

Each hall has designated community spaces that are perfect for studying, having a movie night with friends, or playing a game of ping-pong! RA's will help create community by hosting monthly events for students to attend. 

Hall government leaders also plan building and area-wide events for all to attend! The 2021-2022 Hall Government Program of the Year was Squires-Hancock Bingo Bash. 

RA staff work to update bulletin boards monthly with timely information that is valuable for students to know. Past bulletin boards include information about:

• Mental health campus resources
• Study tips
• How to deal with being 'home' for breaks
• Welcome information and resources
• And more

To help keep living spaces safe and secure:

• All exterior doors are locked at all times and a student ID card is required to be scanned at the reader for the door to unlock.
• RA's do building 'rounds' multiple times a night to monitor the doors, noise levels, and other activity happening.
