Residential Life Staff

We're here to make sure your residential life experience at Franklin Pierce is rewarding, safe and fully-integrated with all aspects of living and learning in a liberal arts community. You will meet two types of staff in your residence hall. Each has a role in helping students adjust to college life and make the most of residential, social and academic life at Franklin Pierce.

A Residence Director (RD) is a professional staff member that lives in the residence halls and oversees the development of their residents. Each has the experience and skill to supervise, provide leadership and act as a role model for their respective staffs. Residence Directors are responsible for establishing a civil and respectful living community while promoting student involvement in the University community. They also serve as a Student Conduct Officer and are responsible for meeting with their residents when alleged policy violations occur.

A Community Assistant (CA) is a carefully selected upper-class student leader who assists in developing a community. CA's fulfill many roles including programmer, administrator, and policy enforcer. They are familiar with the University's goals, services, policies and procedures. Community Assistants are directly supervised by the Residence Directors.

“Hello! I am the Assistant Director of Residential Life at Franklin Pierce University, where I have been working for the past three years. With extensive knowledge in Residential Life and Student Affairs, I also specialize in event coordination and program planning, working diligently to create a vibrant and engaging community for our students.

Living on campus allows me to be deeply involved in student life, and you might often see me around with my dog, Ivy. Outside of work, I enjoy outdoor activities and spending time with friends. Don't hesitate to say hi if you see me on campus—I love connecting with our community!”

Hello My name is Juli-Anne Atwood, and I am in my first year of being a Residence Director here at Franklin Pierce University. I am from Chicago, Illinois and I have just finished up my bachelor’s at SUNY Oswego in Broadcasting & Mass Communications with a minor in Audio Design & Production. During my time at Oswego, I spent three years being a Resident Assistant where I was introduced into the world of ResLife. As a Residence Director, I oversee the First-Year area and make sure our incoming students are feeling welcomed at their home away from home!

When I’m not working, I like to listen to music, dance, read, and catch up on any shows and movies that I’ve missed out on. Sometimes, I might be on the lookout for ways to add more to my wardrobe and another color to change my hair. If you see me prancing around campus, stop to say “Hi” so I can say “Hi” back!
