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 Deichert Hall Tony Ertel 701-355-7101 amertel@umary.edu Tony Ertel joins the Residence Life Team, all the way from Gaming, Austria!
