Community Advisors (CAs)

Upper-year student leaders who live in residence and foster a community atmosphere within your building floor or unit. They are here to help you out in many ways, direct you toward other resources that you may need, and to maintain and improve the quality of community life while you live and study in residence. CAs provide a peer-to-peer resource for you as you navigate through your first year in residence, and can offer confidential support for any personal or academic concerns you may have.

Team Leads (TLs)

Upper-year student leaders who live in residence and are responsible for a team of Community Advisors. They act as support to the CAs, and organize building wide activities for you to enjoy! They have experience as CAs as well and are here to support the team of CAs living in residence as well as the students who live here.

Peer Supports (PSs)

Upper-year student leaders who live in residence and provide peer-to-peer support to upper-year students. Their role is to help build communities and foster a positive residence experience for those of you who wish to continue living in residence. PSs hold office hours and you are encouraged to visit them if you have any personal or academic concerns that you would like to address with a peer.

Residence Life Coordinators (RLC)
