Meet the 2012-13 GSAS RAs!

Posted September 18, 2012

Serving as facility liaisons, advisors, mediators, and event planners, the Graduate School’s 16 resident advisors (RAs) help to create a sense of community and a feeling of belonging among the 417 graduate students who live in the four GSAS residence halls. The RAs plan social events throughout the year, including an ambitious series of welcoming events at the start of every year, which help orient newcomers to Harvard and — for international students — to the United States.

Meet the 2012–2013 RAs and the Housing and Student Services team below!
