Overview Details Staff   Each hall has a Residence Director (RD) living in the building. The RDs are professionally educated and trained to work in a residence hall to support college students. They are a great resource if you having any problems and they guide and supervise the Resident Assistants. Resident Assistants are current students who are selected to be mentors and resources in the halls. They serve as "the first line of defense" in some ways. They will be the first to respond to concerns in the hall, serve as mentors to the residents, plan events and programs, and help students adjust to college life and classes Residence Director of Greg Butler Hall Jillian Phelps 701-355-5303 jlphelps@umary.edu Jillian Phelps is a born and raised Iowa native.
