Residential Living Staff
Mark Chaszar, Director of Residential LivingOffice: LV8, Alpine About Mark: This is my first year as a Lobo but only part of a nearly 20 year career in university housing. I came from Houston where I worked in housing for 5 years at private Ivy League university. I have a Master of Science in Educational Administration from Texas A&M University where my degree focused on student affairs administration in higher education (SAAHE). I also have a Bachelor of Arts in Biology with a minor in Chemistry. Before my career in residential living I worked as a research scientist and as a professional academic tutor. This is a wonderful place to work and live. My wife, daughters and I love Alpine and Sul Ross and thoroughly enjoy working and living here in the Big Bend. My door is always open so feel free to drop by!

Jessica Gonzales, Assistant DirectorOffice: LV8, Alpine About Jessica: I have been a Lobo for 10 years. I am originally from San Antonio but Alpine is now my second home. I first came to Sul Ross in 2003 and have since earned my Bachelors and Master’s degree in Criminal Justice. My experience and passion for housing came from working as a Resident Assistant here at Sul Ross from 2005-2009. I have met many memorable students (residents), RAs, and staff during my time with Residential Living and Sul Ross. I am very proud to have Sul Ross as my Amateur and strive to help the students make the best of their experiences and build memories here just like I did as a student.

Clare Ritzi, Administrative SecretaryOffice: LV8, Alpine About Clare: I have been a lobo for 11 years, as a student, faculty wife, and staff. I am currently a faculty wife, residential living secretary and a graduating senior. This is an amazing place to work, learn and live. We are a small school with a home town feel regardless of where you came from. Sul Ross always has its’ doors open wide and friendly face to greet you with. I came here as an undergraduate transfer from a few big state schools as a newlywed. We were greeted with friendly helpful faces wherever we went on this campus. Now I am one of the friendly faces you might meet.
Dr. Kathy Stein, Faculty in ResidenceOffice: LV8, Alpine About Dr. Stein: I am your Faculty-in-Residence (FiR). What that title means is that I am your liaison to the faculty and staff of SRSU. Yes, Sul Ross is a pretty small campus, but that doesn’t mean that it is always easy to navigate. I’m here to help you figure out how to set up a meeting with a professor, who to talk to about selecting a major, where to go to retest for the Texas Success Initiative, who to speak to in order to figure out what the Texas Success Initiative is, or any other question that you may be trying to answer. I will celebrate my fifth year anniversary here at SRSU in July. My entire stay here I have been Residential Living’s FiR and lived in Lobo Village 2. I came to Alpine from El Paso and I love the clean air, the lack of traffic, and the friendliness of the town and the campus. While in El Paso, I worked at UTEP. For two years I was the Director of Developmental English, and then I spent seven years as the Director of the Tutoring and Learning Center. I am Director of the Academic Center for Excellence (ACE). At ACE, I oversee the developmental education program, the SRSU Honors Program, and the Academic Learning Center (ALC). The ALC offers free tutoring to SRSU students in a number of subjects. Call 837-8408 to get more information about our hours. I am also an Assistant Professor of English. My goal for all of my students is that they leave my class a stronger writer. Yes, I believe in grammar J I may not know everything about Sul Ross, but I can guarantee this, I’m good at finding answers. So let’s talk.
