Resident Advisors (RAs) are peer helpers in the residential communities. They are paraprofessional staff members and undergraduate student leaders who are responsible for the social and educational programming. They also focus on the health and safety of the halls and foster an environment of accountability among the residents. Approximately 70 RAs serve the College with a higher concentration of RAs placed in the first-year communities.
