Area Coordinators
Area coordinators provide the principal leadership for the residential housing areas. As part of a campus-wide rotation, they provide a 24-hour response for after-hour concerns and crises. During office hours (8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m.), the area coordinators meet with students to provide non-clinical counseling and relational support for individuals and groups. They help to problem-solve and mediate difficult living situations and are responsible for communicating and enforcing residential policies. When not engaged in these activities, the area coordinators strive to build community within their residential areas by providing social and educational activities. In addition, area coordinators supervise a group of resident advisors and community facilitators - residence life student peer leaders.

Resident Advisors and Community Facilitators
Each residential area has a team of student employees called resident advisors or community facilitators. Resident advisors and community facilitators live among and support the residents of a specific section of their residence halls. They provide peer-to-peer support to residents; communicate and facilitate compliance with Hampshire's community norms; facilitate meetings within halls and apartments, and plan and host community-building events of all kinds.
