Housing and Residence Life has decided to hire two new assistant area coordinators to help supervise the RAs of Embry-Riddle Aeronautical Unviersity. Assistant area coordinators on the RAs and the students living in the halls, assisting the RAs with programming, resolving student incidents, and otherwise helping supervise housing affairs. The two new hires are James Hoelle and Trey Pitman.
James Hoelle graduated ERAU with a degree in aeronautics and two minors, one in aviation safety and one in meteorology. Before graduating, he was an RA at ERAU for 2 years, so he knows the turf. His father was in the military, so his family moved around a lot while he was growing up, moving from his birthplace of Perth, Australia, when he was 5 months old, to Oahu, Hawaii, where his father was stationed for the next 5 and a half years of his life. At this point, his family moved to Concord, California, where they stayed, so Hoelle considers Concord home.
Hoelle's uncle owns a large farming company in southern California, and has his own little turboprop charter plane. When Hoelle was young, his uncle would send his pilot to pick the family up and fly them south to visit. Hoelle always flew in the cockpit and loved it; he knew that flying was what he wanted to do for the rest of his life. His high school supervisor suggested that he go to ERAU to become a pilot.
Hoelle studied aeronautical science and got his private pilot license, but wanted to graduate in 3 and a half years. He took 18 credit hours per semester for a while, but realized that he had neither the time nor the money to complete the degree, so he switched to aeronautics, and graduated in December of 2009. He has been hired to be the assistant area coordinator in charge of the Mingus complex, M-100, and M-400.
Born in Akron, Ohio, Trey Pitman has been living in Tempe, Arizona, for the last 5 years. He graduated from ASU last May with a degree in foreign languages. As an undergraduate at ASU, he had many student jobs, including as an RA. Since graduating, Pitman has taught third-grade reading and math, which he did enjoy, and worked as a project manager for an aerospace company, a desk job he did not enjoy. He decided to come to ERAU to study aeronautics full-time and to be a professional staff member.
The new assistant area coordinators were hired just in time to meet next year's RA staff, since the final selection of new RAs will be known on Mar. 9.
