Area Director - Ivan Ceballos

Hi and welcome to Hecht Residential College! My name is Ivan Ceballos Jr. and I am happy to be part of the Hecht community as the Area Director. I was born and raised right here in sunny Miami and, after living and working elsewhere also in Housing and Residential Life as well as advising fraternities and sororities, I am pleased to be back in my hometown. After a few years working in Baltimore, I am happy to be part of the University of Miami. In my spare time I enjoy watching and rooting for my favorite football and baseball teams, going to the beach, or exploring everything that Miami has to offer (the food is great!).

As the AD I manage the day to day operations of the area, supervise Housing & Residential Life staff, and collaborate with our residential faculty, and Academic and Career Advisor in Residence. I always enjoy meeting and getting to know residents, so please stop by my office, which is located behind the back desk. Myself and the rest of the staff are here to help make your first year at the University of Miami a well-rounded experience filled with lasting memories, meaningful friendships, and abundant opportunities for growth and new learning experiences. We are excited to have you here and once again, welcome to Hecht!
