The Early Orientation Leaders have been selected to work with and serve the students who attend the Early Orientation for Students with ASD.

Peer mentors are also used for programming and activities that allow them to promote and practice social literacy in students.

Resident Assistants

RAs live in the residence halls, assisting the RDs and organizing up to 10 events per semester and proving building supervision on nights and weekends. They are a great resource for students with questions about life on campus, as well as being a resource on policies and procedures.
