Residence Life On-Call Duty Schedule

There are multiple people on call for emergency response, policy enforcement, and general student service. Typically, there are two Resident Assistants on call (one for the Copley Quad and one for Chesnut and Dearing) each weekday from 5:00 pm to 8:00 am the next morning. During business hours, someone on the senior staff will be accessible. During the weekend (Friday at 5:00 pm to Sunday at 5:00 pm) two Resident Assistants will be on call from 5:00 pm to 5:00 pm each day. There is also a Senior Staff member on call as emergency and crisis respoders every day and night. Please review the following positions for a more comprehensive understanding of who will be responding to a particular situation.

Resident Assistant (RA) - Student Staff members on duty each night and over the weekend. In each building, the RA contact numbers will be posted next to the main entrance or the front desk. RAs should be contacted to confront policy violations including suspicion of drugs and alcohol, noise violations, and other community disturbances. The RAs on call will always be within the building (or between buildings in the case of Chesnut and Dearing) while on duty. The only exception of this is during dinner on weekdays and weekends when they may be on campus at the Dining Center.

Senior Staff - The Office of Residence Life Staff is composed of two full-time professional staff members and one Graduate Assistant (Maksym Ovsiyenko, Student Activities Specialist). For consistency and ease of contact, the senior staff member on call rotates every week, starting on Monday at 10:00 am. In the event of serious injury, emergency medical response, police involvement, major policy violations, or afterhours roommate conflicts, the Resident Assistant will call the Senior Staff member on call. The Senior Staff member on call will always be within ten minutes of campus while on duty. The Senior Staff is composed of:

• J.C. Stoner, Director of Residence Life
• Karie Schaefer, Resident Director of Copley Quad
• Maksym Ovsiyenko, Student Activities Specialist

If you need assistance, you may call the Copley Quad front desk at (816) 584-7400 and they will get in contact with the appropriate staff member on duty. Otherwise, you can directly contact the RA on duty by calling the phone number listed in each building. Please refer to the calendar below to determine who is on duty each day.

Bolded Dates are considered Holiday Duty, when there will be one Resident Assistant and a Senior Staff member on call each day and night. During this time, the Resident Assistant will be making rounds each day and night of all the buildings on campus.

Be advised that this calendar is subject to change based on student and professional staff scheduling changes.
