Campus Champion

Robert Binnall became associate director of Residence Life and Housing a year ago, just in time to help draft the office’s first COVID-19 message to students. Every day since, he addresses students’ and families’ concerns. “We listen, we present the full picture, and we take time to understand and find a solution,” said Rob. Rob’s role has expanded to include work with quarantine/isolation transport, move-in and departure logistics, campus policies and timely communications. Shifting the process of recruiting resident assistants and residence hall directors online was a huge undertaking. While they hope to return to in-person recruiting when things are safe, some changes to office processes will benefit staff and students for years to come.
