Community Coordinator

Tonight I was able to take the time to sit down with my CC and ask him some questions about becoming a Community Coordinator.  My CC is Mike and we talked about the steps it takes to become one.  Mike told me that the first thing you have to do is apply online and you also have to meet the requirements.  He’s not positive, but your grade point average must be at least a 2.5 or better to be a Community Coordinator.  The next thing you have to do when meeting the requirements is have an interview in front of the entire hall directors.  Those are just the steps of becoming a CC, now I wanted to talk about the benefits that the CC’s get.  The best thing Mike said about being a CC is the free housing on campus which saves him a whole lot of money each year.  Another benefit Mike gets is that he gets paid for being a CC!  I would have never guessed that they would get paid, but what do you know!  Mike said that he also gets early registration for classes.  Some of the responsibilities he has to take on as a CC though are taking care of the residents, and being a good advisor for them as well.  He must continue throughout the year to fulfill the program requirements including the GPA and others.  Mike must make a good community for the students and make sure that the students are all active all the time.  This is Mikes second year as a CC and he is only a junior.  Maybe a CC is something I want to do next year.
