An
On-Site Coordinator supervises the residential and academic staffs, serves as head disciplinarian for residential life, and oversees student social and recreational activities. The On-Site Coordinator lives on campus alongside
TIPsters and staff. On-Site Coordinators have received special training and maintains daily contact with the Duke TIP main office at Duke University. Most people never even talk to their OSC one-on-one, and those who do are generally in trouble or need help of some sort. However, it's not unheard of for TIPsters to rally around, fall in love with, or in some other way become attached to their OSC. As it is, some TIPsters, notably those at Duke East, grow a strong dislike for their particular OSD.
Beginning in 2008 the OSC's title has been changed to OSD to stand for On-Site Director.
