Duties and Responsibilities	As well as enabling each student to experience the full benefit of the educational program, counselors are responsible for taking all reasonable precautions and actions to ensure the safety and well-being of the student participants in the program. Counselors will be on duty when students check in the dorm. Each counselor must be available on the day students arrive for the program, usually Sunday. Position duties include providing counsel for students; maintaining a check-out system for students so that their whereabouts are known; developing and conducting recreational and diversionary (enrichment and hobby) activities; consulting with other counselors and program coordinators on policies, procedures and problems encountered; and providing preventive maintenance for student difficulties. The primary function of counselors is to work cooperatively with other counselors and program staff to maintain a safe and positive learning environment for the students. Toward the end, counselors must be committed to enforcing the published guidelines for student conduct during the program. Counselors provides a liaison between the academic activities of the program and the residence life components.

Counselors must be responsible at all times for keeping the Head Residence Counselor informed of their whereabouts by using a check-in/check-out system.
