French Hall Coordinator in McTyeire International House

McTyeire is a residential hall for undergraduates who want to immerse themselves in a language (French, Italian, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, and German). Eeach language hall coordinator has several responsibilities both as language teachers and as hall coordinators.  The program director, Anja Bandas, will schedule orientation and weekly staff meetings for all hall coordinators.

• Language responsibilities include eating dinner (Monday through Thursday) with the residents of the French Hall, conducting study breaks, group meetings, and various events (movie screenings, holiday parties, cultural events, etc.)   For the undergraduate students, the hall coordinator is an invaluable resource in their attempts to become fluent in French and to deepen their understanding of French and Francophone culture.
• Administrative responsibilities: arrive in mid-August to participate in orientation programs; become acquainted with the McTyeire organizational structure, get to know the residents, other coordinators and administrators; set goals and hall policies for the French hall; coordinate weekly study breaks; learn the application, interview, and admission processes for new McTyeire applicants; attend weekly meetings with other hall coordinators; keep students motivated!
