Over the break, Vice President for Student Life Eddie Ade Knowles appointed Lisa Trahan as the Interim Director of Residence Life. She will temporarily fill in the void left by the retirement of longtime Director Pete Snyder last month.
Trahan currently serves as the dean of the Office of the First-Year Experience, a position she will retain while serving in her new capacity within ResLife. While at RPI, she has also served as an assistant dean, the chief judicial administrator, and the senior associate dean in the Dean of Students Office.
Prior to coming to RPI, Trahan spent several years working in residence life. Trahan will hold the position until a search committee chaired by Knowles completes its process and selects a new director for the position.
