Welcome to the Ferris State University Hall Director Recruitment website!

Ferris State University is looking for outstanding individuals to join our Residence Life team for the 2012-2013 academic year. Our current professional staff represent a diverse background of experience from across the country. The program alumni have built a strong foundation from which we are raising the bar on student opportunities, overall satisfaction with on-campus living, and the development of our student leaders and professional staff. Our Residence Life team is dedicated to creating living and learning environment that enhances and furthers the Mission of the University which states:

Ferris State University prepares students for successful careers, responsible citizenship, and lifelong learning. Through its many partnerships and its career-oriented, broad-based education, Ferris serves our rapidly changing global economy and society.

To achieve our goals, our Hall Directors autonomously facilitate learning in the residence hall communities. We utilize the house system and the Community Development model to emphasize academics, civility, leadership and the comprehensive development of our students. We are seeking dedicated professionals to join our team to help define the future of Ferris State and help prepare our students for successful lives. The holistic development of the Hall Director is not only my personal commitment but also the commitment of the Office of Housing and Residence Life and Ferris State University. This is achieved through a wide range of personal and professional development opportunities.

If you are interested in working in the challenging and dynamic environment of Ferris State University, please review the application process here and via our Human Resources webpage.

Thank you for your interest in Ferris State University and Go Bulldogs!
