Michael Dobrin 

Associate Director for Residential Operations

I became an RA because I had a terrible experience living with my roommates in my freshman year. As I got more involved on campus through that experience, I realized how much I appreciate the opportunities a college environment provides students to grow and learn about themselves, and I wanted to continue working in that capacity. Now, I get to recruit staff who have a genuine interest in supporting our students and also build and enhance processes that ultimately impact our students' experiences in their residence halls.

If I didn’t have this job, I would:

I would love to work in wildlife conservation/rehabilitation!

One thing you learned living on campus

Communication is key! If you have a problem with something or someone in your experience, nothing is going to change if you don't have a conversation about it. And I mean talking to the person the concern is with/about, not expecting someone else to solve the problem for you.

Favorite line of the LSU Alma Mater

"Where stately oaks and broad magnolias shade inspiring halls"

I just love nature and am a bit of a plant dad.
