The primary duty of the Student Life Advisor (SLA) is to create and maintain a positive living/learning environment for the students in their care. Each SLA works independently with his/her group of students (approximately 36 students) and collectively with the other staff to ensure that student care, development, and safety needs are met. In addition to programming responsibilities, SLAs who enjoy being involved in many aspects of campus life can elect to sponsor clubs and student organizations or to serve on campus networks. SLAs can also plan or chaperone social or educational offcampus trips. Specific responsibilities include supervising the student sign-out process, conducting nightly room checks to assure that all students are accounted for in the building, conducting weekly room-inspection, transporting students as needed (in school vehicles), enforcing policies, and planning and implementing social and educational programming. At times SLAs may need to dispense over-the-counter or prescription medication or provide other medical care, for which training is provided. Additional on-the-job training, including CPR/AED and first aid training, will be provided. SLAs interested in additional professional development opportunities can apply for funding to attend conferences and workshops in line with their work and career goals. This is a full-time, live-in position that includes a one-bedroom/one-bathroom apartment for the duration of the contract, a weekly 19-meal plan when students are on campus, and all benefits afforded to Louisiana State employees including, participation in the Louisiana State Teachers’ Retirement plan. Student Life Advisors are required to live in the residence hall and to be on site for scheduled shifts and oncall overnight responsibilities, except on days off. Student Life Advisors receive ample time off surrounding holidays and extended weekends when residence halls are closed.

A generous benefit package including health and retirement are offered with this position.
