Student Staff in the College Houses: Graduate Associates

Each College House has a diverse team of Graduate Associates (or GAs), graduate students selected from the doctoral and professional programs of the University's twelve schools. GAs bring a slightly different viewpoint to the life of the community and also offer special academic or professional expertise in their fields of study. GAs sponsor or join in the numerous academic and co-curricular activities of each College House.

GA applications are accepted and reviewed on a rolling basis. Applications will be accepted until all vacancies are filled. Interviews in some Houses will not begin until late January or early February.
