Dorm Leadership

Dorm Leadership Team - All

Living and Leading

Each dorm has a number of students who serve as dorm officers.

In all of the dorms there will be at least two Hall Advisors (HAs), two or more pairs of Customs People, one Dorm President, and a couple of Sophomore, Junior, and Senior Representatives. The Dorm Presidents, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior Representatives are elected positions while the Customs People and Hall Advisors are appointed by the Dean's Office and the Office of Residential Life, respectively. Also living in some residence halls are Community Diversity Assistants (CDAs) and Peer Mentors.
