In-Hall Staff

In-hall staff include resident assistants (RAs) and community directors (CDs). Roper's RAs live on each floor, acting as peer educators and helping residents transition to university life and connect to their community. The Roper community has one CD, a professional staff member who supervises RAs to foster a living-learning environment to bridge the academic and residential experience.

Throughout the year, there are a ton of out-of-the classroom programs & opportunities for residents to learn, make connections, engage with campus partners, and have fun.
