After nearly a month of classes, Holy Cross Hall now has a permanent hall director.
Jaillene Erickson started her duties Sept. 24 after being hired to replace Dana North in early September.
North, director of Resident's Life, acted as the temporary hall director.
"So far Jaillene is doing a good job. She is picking up stuff quickly and asking good questions," North said.
Erickson is a native of Atlanta, Ga and graduated from Taylor University in May of 2001 with a degree in communication studies.
She looks forward to meeting all of the students and fulfilling her new position.
"During my college experience, residence life was a pinacle to my growth and development as a person. In turn I wanted to become a hall director so I could give to students the same way others so freely gave to me," Erickson said.
The job description includes upkeep and maintenance of the hall, advising the resident advisors and hall councils and acting as a member of the Judicial Board and Resident Life staff. Erickson is confident about her abilities to succeed as the hall director.
"I am friendly and I truly care about students. My previous administrators and hall directors have invested in me the value of giving and serving others," she said.
Besides her normal duties, Erickson is looking to implement some new things. Although everything is still in the planning stage, she has a main goal.
"I hope to incorporate leadership development into the activities that we will do," Erickson said.
Erickson invites students to come into her office and get to know her.
"I am most excited about meeting the women of this hall," she said.
