The professional staff consists of a Residence Hall Director (RHD), Residence Hall Assistant Director (RHAD) and a Residence Hall Resource Manager (RHRM) all who have offices in either the Residential Life and Hosuing Services Office or the Resource Center. All staff living in the hall serve as amazing resources to residents and work hard to help build strong communities on all floors and throughout the entire building.
My name is Melissa Davison! I’m excited to be the Residence Hall Director of Coral Tower and 2nd Street. I’m from the vast area north of the city known as “Upstate NY.” I completed my undergraduate and graduate degrees at New York University and I’ve been working at NYU almost ever since—I’m a violet through and through. When I’m not in the hall, I enjoy running, exploring the best city on earth, and eating fro yo at 16 Handles.
Our staff looks forward to creating innovative, exciting programs and a strong community in the hall. We hope you will stop by for hall council meetings, fun outings and lots of free food!
