Welcome to East Campus Village! We are excited that you have

versity of Georgia.

For your safety and convenience, our Community Desk, located

in Rooker Hall, is staffed 24 hours a day. Here you can pick up

your mail, check out DVDs from our video vault, check out a

spare key if you are locked out of your apartment, or even pick

up a daily newspaper in the Rooker foyer. If you need a staff member's assistance anytime day or night, please call the desk

at 706-542-1780 or 706-542-2041.

The ECV staff is dedicated to assisting our residents with having a successful and enjoyable experience

concerns.

Again, welcome to East Campus Village and good luck in the coming year!!!

Kathryn C. Hall / Area Coordinator

A professional staff of creative and dedicated individuals works hard behind the scenes at ECV every day! In addi-

tion to the Area Coordinator, we have two Residence Hall Directors to assist in the management of ECV operations.

Ricky Boggs hails from West Virginia and is in his third year of service with the

UGA Department of University Housing. Before arriving to ECV, he worked in My-

ers Community. He reside in Boggs Hall with his wife Kristen, one year old daugh-

ter Bailey, and Rocky, the family dog. In addition to his management of 12 Resi-

dent Assistants (Rooker Hall & Building 1512), he oversees 20 Desk Assistants.

Ricky graduated from Marshal University with a B.S. in Criminal Justice & a M.S.

in Counseling. One interesting fact is that his favorite cartoon is He-man / Thun-

dercats.

Demarcus Merritt is approaching a year of service with the ECV Community.

He came aboard September 2010 from Richmond, Virginia. In addition to his

management of 12 Resident Assistants (Vandiver Hall & McWhorter Hall), he

serves as advisor to your ECV Community Board. Demarcus graduated from

Virginia State University with a B.S. in Health, Physical Education & Recreation

& a M.S. in Sport Management. One interesting fact that is he enjoys writing in

his leisure and plans to author as well as publish a book in the future.

Keep an eye out for events, workshops, and community service opportunities

throughout the year. The programming staff works hard to provide social, cul-

tural, and educational outlets for the residents.

For as little as $4.50/week, our custodial staff will clean your bathroom, making your housekeeping duties much lighter and less yucky! As another added perk, if you choose to sign-up for

these services, you will automatically pass the bath section of the ECV health & safety checks, which are conducted once per semester. Sign up today at the ECV community office!
