AMC has an active residential life program that strives to make living on campus a special part of the total college experience. Over 540 AMC students live in the five residence halls: Madonna Hall, Alumni Hall, Coghlin Hall, South Hall and Esther House. Along with 20 student staff, Assistant Director, Area Coordinator, 4 professional on-call staff and the Associate Dean, the residents participate in a community where learning is fun, friends are made and a second home is found.
Madonna Hall is a multilevel, four-wing building located in the center of the campus. The wings are named O'Leary, Mondor, Eagen and Duggan. Madonna Hall has double rooms, some large quads and triples and six suites with bathrooms. It is the largest hall housing over 300 residents. Esther House, adjacent to Trinity Hall, has 29 single rooms for upperclassmen. Alumni Hall, found "on the hill," houses 30 upperclassmen in both double and single rooms. Coghlin Hall, opened in 2007, joins to Alumni Hall, expanding that area with 44 more beds and making it fully accessible. New in 2008, South Hall offers 91 beds, mostly in double rooms, with air conditioned comfort.
The Residence Life Office is committed to a philosophy of education that rests on a Roman Catholic value system fostering not only the intellectual but also the personal growth of each student. To fulfill its commitment to this philosophy of education, Residence Life attempts to create a residence hall climate that encourages personal responsibility, respect, religious and moral sensitivity, social awareness and freedom of thought. Residential living provides the opportunity for each student to live and participate in a community committed to the Mission of the College and the ideals of the Sisters of Saint Ann. |
The AMC Residence Life Staff
There is a Resident Assistant (RA) living on each floor of Madonna Hall, one in Esther House, four in South Hall and three in Coghlin and Alumni Halls. The RAs are upperclass students who have been selected and trained to help students build a living and learning environment in each hall. They are there to answer any questions, report maintenance concerns, refer residents to campus resources and keep everyone informed of campus news. There is an RA on duty every night and all weekend to assist residents.
Living in Madonna Hall are Resident Coordinators (RCs). These are live-in professionals who are on call in the evening and weekends for emergencies. The RCs all have full time jobs outside of their RC responsibilities.
Joining the staff in 2008, Jonas Halley, the Area Coordinator, focuses on community development, programming and faculty involvement. He supervises the RA staff in South, Coghlin and Alumni halls. Jonas lives and has his office in South Hall.
The Assistant Director of Residence Life supervises the Residence Life staff. The Assistant Director, Michelle Cash, has her office on the first floor of Madonna Hall and lives in Alumni Hall. She is responsible for most aspects of the residential experience.
Residence Life falls under the auspices of the Associate Dean of Campus Life. Should you have a question or concern about living on campus, you may direct it to Elizabeth Bonneau, 508-849-3459, ebonneau@annamaria.edu. Mrs. Bonneau has her office in the Residence Life Office in Madonna Hall. |
