Description:
The Head Counselor (HC) is a student staff member who lives in an assigned suite in the Meredith Willson Residence Hall and assists in the implementation of the Juilliard Summer Programs.
The HC serves as a role model, peer counselor, and builds community for the participants of the Juilliard Summer Programs and is responsible for the safety and wellbeing of a group of campers that reside within the residence hall. The HC serves on call within a duty rotation of other Resident Counselors and reports directly to the Summer Conference and Residence Life Coordinator.

HCs are expected to assist in procedures for emergencies including natural disasters, building or campus-wide emergencies, building coverage, medical, mental health, facility issues, and anything else that may permit an “all-hands” response.
Employment Period
The employment period is from
June 29, 2025-July 26, 2025 . Staff members are expected to participate in all training sessions. Some days will require additional assistance that include but is not limited to Resident Counselor training and residence hall opening and closing.
