Housing Complex Managers
Clark Houses offer Undergraduate and Graduate students the opportunity to live with independance while still enjoying many of the convenient services offered to students living in the residence halls. These ammenities include individual liability contacts (if a roommate moves out you are not stuck covering their portion of the rent), routine maintenance and cleaning, all-inclusive pricing (heat, electric, cold and hot water, sewer, local phone, cable TV, and wired and wireless internet are all provided by the University as part of the room charge), included laundry, and contract flexibility (you can move to another on-campus room without penalty).
While offering these conveniences, Clark RLH also feels strongly that living in the Clark Houses should reflect in some capacity the off-campus housing experience that most students will experience either during or after their Clark career. As such, Clark Houses are supervised using a property management style approach. Each house is assigned to one of three Housing Complex Managers (HCM). HCMs are Seniors with at least two years of Resident Adviser experience. HCMs assist the Clark Houses residents with room condition tracking and inspection, maintenance concerns, information dissemination, opening and closing procedures, and providing opportunity for students to interact socially.
Housing Complex Managers supervise on of the following house complexes:
- South Complex - 1 & 3 Maywood Place, 13 Beaver Street, 21 & 23 Maywood Street.
- North Compex - 2 Downing Street, 70 Florence Street, 112 & 114 Woodland Street.
- Graduate Complex - 906, 914, 926, 930, and 934 Main Street.
South Complex - HCM Shelby Margolin:
Shelby Margolin is the Housing Complex Manager for the South Complex - 1 & 3 Maywood Place, 13 Beaver Street, 21 & 23 Maywood Street. Shelby has been an RA and Head RA in Dodd Hall for the past two years.
"Shelby on Shelby": Hello everyone! My name is Shelby Margolin and I am a senior studying International Development and Social Change with a concentration in Holocaust and Genocide studies. I am originally from California and have enjoyed living across the country for the past 3 years, even though I definitely miss the California weather! I have grown to love Worcester, and you can often find me at Elm Park, trying to get tickets to the Hanover, or volunteering at the St. Peters mentoring program or the Donna Kay rest home. On campus I am very involved with the Strassler Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies, am a Making a Difference Scholar, and am a LEEP Pioneer. Aside from that, I love movies, board games, and hikes, and am always looking for suggestions of new ones to try.
I worked as an RA and a head RA for the last two years, and am very excited to be a Housing Complex Manager. It will be very different for me to live apart from residents, but I still hope to get to know you all. I will have 4 weekly office hours in the Residential Life and Housing office on Downing St. and encourage you all to stop by. I will also be visiting the houses to put up postings and chat if you have some free time. I understand that moving to an on campus house is about establishing independence, and I will make every effort to respect that part of our relationship. I look forward to meeting you and hope that we all have a great year!

"Carson on Carson": I am a Senior and Global History major, and will be going into the MBA program with GSOM, next year. My favorite things about Clark are the people and the extra-curriculular activities. Apart from my work with RLH, the things I am happiest about having experienced while at Clark are volunteering opportunities, and being on several intramural sports teams. I enjoy most sports, namely basketball, football, and baseball. I am THE BIGGEST New England Patriots fan I know, and I also LOVE the Celtics and Red Sox. My hometown, where I've lived all my life and spend most of my summers, is Gloucester, MA. Gloucester is home of 'The Perfect Storm,' whale-watches, beaches, and the tuna fishing industry as showcased on the 'Wicked Tuna' tv program. I am a proud New Englander, but actually prefer the weather everywhere else I go. I'm fortunate to have family and friends all over the place so I have been to over 7 other countries and about 30 other states.
