Students will encounter many new faces while walking around the Saint Mary's campus — two of which belong to the new hall directors.
Carly Guerra, Regina hall director, and Christine Arzt, McCandless hall director, are both beginning their first year of working at Saint Mary's. As hall directors, both Guerra and Arzt will be responsible for maintaining order and safety within their dorm. Also, hall directors at Saint Mary's have the job of supervising the resident advisors (RA's), desk workers and night assistants.
"If there is ever any problems in the hall, people come to me," Guerra said of her job.
Guerra grew up in Utica, N.Y., and attended Le Moyne College in Syracuse. After graduating last year, she decided to come to Saint Mary's because it was so similar to the college she attended. While Saint Mary's is similar to her undergraduate environment, she is looking forward to the challenges her new job will bring.
"I want Regina Hall to have a very fun and safe year and for the students in the hall to grow as much as they can, not only intellectually but socially," Guerra said.
When asked about her objectives for this year, Arzt said, "One of my top priorities is to work with the RA's in the building and make them a phenomenal staff."
Arzt traveled a lot growing up, and spent her first two years of high school in Turkey and the last two in Germany. She recently graduated from Saint Mary's in May of 2000. Arzt is excited to be working at the same school she attended.
"It's just a place I absolutely love and adore," said Arzt . "Being here makes me so happy."
Guerra made the move to Indiana by herself and is looking to build strong relationships with the students through her job. "If people are looking for a friend, come this way," she said.
