In the dynamic field of student affairs, especially within campus housing and residence life, professionals navigate a demanding work environment that extends beyond traditional office hours. Their responsibilities encompass round-the-clock responsiveness, addressing student learning, development, conduct, and crises, as well as managing business administration, marketing, communications, housing assignments, facilities, and more. This intense workload often leads to burnout, compassion fatigue, health issues, and stress, contributing to high turnover rates, mass resignations, and a decline in new entry-level professionals.
