Meet the Staff

The Office of Residential Programs

The Office of Residential Programs Professional Staff supervises the 150 Resident Advisors (RAs) and Community Advisers (CAs) and works closely with other offices to provide a continuous web of support for students in the residence halls. They respond to after hours medical and psychological emergencies and serve as liaisons with Public Safety, Housing and Dining, Health Services, Counseling and Psychological Services and other offices to provide intervention after regular business hours. The staff works to develop and implement programs, events, and study breaks to develop community in the residence halls. The Associate Directors, along with the Graduate Assistant Staff, are representatives of the Office of the Dean and live and work in the Residence Halls.

The Residential Programs staff is responsible for supporting and educating the student community on the policies and procedures of the University as outlined in numerous publications such as FACETS, the Columbia College Bulletin and the Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science (SEAS) Bulletin, as well as the URH publication, The Guide to Living.

Please feel free to drop by the central office of Residential Programs, in 101 Carman hall, or to one of our satellite offices in the residential area where you live, noted below.
