The Junior Advisor (JA) program is a unique element of the first-year experience at the College in which juniors live in dorms with first-years to help students become accustomed to college life. Applicants for next year’s JA cohort were recently notified of their acceptances. As members of the new class prepare to accept their offers, the Record asked current and former JAs for their reflections on building community and their advice for the incoming cohort.

The Record spoke to Dining Services, the Zilkha Center, and members of WRAPS to understand the collective efforts that help limit food waste from dining halls. 

This year, new faculty hires have gathered at Log Trivia to build community and acclimate to life at the College, in addition to attending College-hosted events for new faculty. The Record spoke to three new faculty members about their transitions and how they have found community, both formally and informally.
