Resident Assistants & Sophomore Advisers

Your Resident Assistants and Sophomore Advisers will give you study tips, organize cool events for your hall, and generally make life at Rose‑Hulman more awesome.

Students supporting students

Our resident assistant staff is responsible for providing an enjoyable environment for students living in the residence halls. They provide hall education programs, promote floor activities and campus-wide events, enforce campus rules, act as a resource to all students, and most of all, provide FUN!

All the RAs in first-year student halls receive backup from our sophomore adviser staff—also known as our SAs. They live on the freshman floors (two per floor) and contribute their time to helping students with homework questions, planning and promoting floor activities, encouraging student participation in campus organizations, and helping the RAs to build a floor community. We are extremely proud of the closeness that is created on each floor throughout the year. Our system of RAs and SAs has proven very effective when balancing the responsibilities of residence hall staff.

In addition, three professional staff live in our residence halls. Cory Pardieck, Kyle Washburn, and LeAnne Myers live in BSB Hall, Deming Hall, and Speed Hall, respectively. A team of three Graduate Assistants also provides additional supervision. Samuel Lim, Thomas Perez, and Samuel VanDenburgh live in Lakeside Hall, Scharpenberg Hall, and Percopo Hall, respectively.
