Professional Employment

We encourage residents to recycle, especially during check-in at the beginning of the year and check-out at the end. During fall 2014, University Housing worked with the Office of Sustainability and recycled 22,000 pounds of cardboard. In addition to these efforts, University Housing partners with the Office of Sustainability to host the Make Orange Green POWER Challenge to see which hall is best at recycling and reducing energy and water consumption. University Housing and the campus community constantly strive to be more environmentally friendly. To learn more about environmental initiatives on campus, visit environment.utk.edu.

We encourage continual growth and development among our hall directors. After a hall director has become well versed with the yearlong responsibilities associated with operating a residence hall, the department encourages part of the hall director’s time to be allotted to another department on campus with the understanding that the hall director position is the primary responsibility.
