The professional staff in the Student Services Department prepares students for lifelong learning and leadership in the arts by strengthening their leadership skills in and out of the classroom.

Student Services personnel work with other staff, faculty, outside facilitators and local women leaders in the arts to train our student leaders, building their confidence and teaching teamwork and follow-through. A key step is helping students develop their ability to take risks, effect change, and make ethical decisions.

Several campus leadership organizations provide ready-made training grounds, including:

• Student Government
• Student Mentors
• Residence Life Staff
• Student Judiciary Committee

Student Government
Student Government empowers young leaders to advocate for the student body. It is an umbrella organization that is divided into working groups to serve the students’ needs.

Student Government members represent the student perspective on key college-wide committees. Members have the opportunity to attend leadership and issue-oriented conferences. All students are encouraged to apply for positions in Student Government. The selection process occurs in the spring.

Residence Life Staff
The Residence Life staff is a group of four Resident Directors and seven Resident Assistants who work with the Assistant Dean for Residence Life and Housing. They assist in both the personal and operational aspects of managing the residence halls. 

In addition to the skills that all leaders receive in training, the Residence Life Staff learns interpersonal helping skills, such as conflict resolution, mediation, crisis interventions; and operational procedures related to maintenance and security. They work with staff in Student Services to provide social and educational programming for the students living in the residence halls. Sophomores, juniors and seniors hold these positions

Student Mentors

Student Mentors are juniors and seniors who work with new students as they adapt to life at Moore by providing programs during Orientation and the subsequent semesters.

Prior to arriving at Moore, each new student is contacted by a Mentor who offers assistance and support. During Orientation, the Mentors accompany the students within their Orientation group and facilitate activities such as teambuilding.

Student Mentors are nominated and jointly selected by faculty, staff and Student Services for their potential as leaders.

Student Judiciary Committee
The Judiciary Committee is composed of six students recommended by Student Services staff, faculty and student leaders. They hear cases of student misconduct during the academic year.
