The Office of Graduate and Family Housing is represented by dedicated staff who continuously strive to create a fun, safe, and engaging culture in our communities. The staff is made up of an Assistant Director, the Graduate Housing Operations Manager, the Resident Director, and the staff of Graduate Community Assistants (GCAs). The GCAs are graduate students, who live in the residential communities and encourage involvement in programming and events. There are many ways to participate—from potluck dinners to picnics and outings (such as apple picking) to biking and art classes and community gardens—something for everyone!
