Kyley McClain is the residence life and student activities coordinator whose
primary objective is to create a living environment within the residence hall
conducive to the educational and social development of all students who reside on
campus. She is responsible for the overall management of the residence hall. It is her
job to coordinate room assignments and changes, supervise the resident assistant
staff, and work to create a sense of community among the residents.
The Peabody residence hall consists of two towers connected at the plaza level
by the dining hall. Constructed in 1968, the towers have large, fully-furnished,
air-conditioned rooms. The residence hall is a non-smoking, traditional residence hall
with single, double, and triple occupancy rooms, and shared bathrooms. A small
kitchen is available to resident students for recreational cooking. The laundry room
facilities, with JCard and coin-operated washers and dryers, are located in the
basement of the West Tower Residence Hall and are available for use by all Peabody
students. The room is accessible 24 hours a day.
In addition, there are two floors of the Peabody Inn which are available to graduate
and upper class students. These rooms are spacious and have a private bath. They
offer an alternative option for students who would like a safe, quiet, and convenient
living experience on campus.
Resident assistants (RAs) are students who are selected for their abilities to provide
leadership among their peers, to help and support others, and to contribute to the
development of a community atmosphere in the residence hall. In addition, the RAs
job responsibilities, include, but are not limited to, providing informal peer advising
to residents, planning recreational and educational programming, responding to
5 emergencies, enforcing Peabody Institute policies, and serving as a resource on
campus.
There is one RA on each of the six residence hall floors and one RA in the Peabody Inn.
One RA is on duty each night from 7:00 pm until 8:00 am and can be reached at 443-
250-7240 in the event of an emergency, disturbance, or other issue in the residence
hall. The RA duty schedule will be posted on each RA’s room door.
