Dear Undergraduate Community:

We are writing to inform the entire community, beyond the dorms directly
involved, that interviews for Residential Life Area Directors (RLADs) began
on Monday, July 16th, and will continue through Thursday, July 19th.

As of today, the Housemasters of seven dorms have expressed interest in the
addition of RLADs to their House Teams in the Fall. Included, as before,
are Maseeh Hall, McCormick Hall, New House, Next House, and Simmons Hall,
with the recent additions of Burton-Conner and MacGregor House. Because
Burton-Conner and Maseeh Hall will retain their current, live-in RLAs as
their new RLADs, student representatives for the search process were
solicited from McCormick Hall, New House, Next House, Simmons Hall, and
MacGregor House.

Students involved in the search process are meeting with each RLAD
candidate in small groups, separate from GRTs and Housemasters. As outlined
in the RLAD search
timeline<http://studentlife.mit.edu/sites/default/files/Timeline%20for%20Area%20Director%20Search%20Process.pdf>,
all participants will provide the Senior Associate Dean for Student Life,
Dr. Henry Humphreys, with their candidate evaluation forms by Thursday,
July 19th. As hiring manager, Dean Humphreys will use the evaluations to
make final decisions, with offers extended to RLAD candidates on Friday,
July 20th.

Beyond the information we have available to us at this time, we are
expecting the release of a more detailed RLAD role description from the
Division of Student Life within the coming days. Further, we expect more
details regarding the status of RLAs for dorms without RLADs in the Fall.
Presently, it is our understanding that these dorms will not have RLAs
assigned to them and that their House Teams will be assisted by other
Residential Life Programs staff.

As always, if you have questions, please reach out to your dormitory
president or contact the UA/DormCon team at
residential-support-feedback at mit.edu. Updates regarding the RLAD search
process have been posted at

Thank you for your time,
