The Residence Life staff at Harcum is comprised of both professional and paraprofessional persons. There are full time, part time, live in and live off staff members to assist students twenty four hours per day. The most important parts of our staff are the RAs and the PAs. An RA is a second year student who creates a favorable environment for living in a climate supportive of the mission of the College. She is the primary counselor, organizer of activities with the students on her wing, and the enforcement agent of the rules and regulations that exist so that students may live together in harmony.
PAs also help to build community spirit and implement residence hall programming.
