- Christine Lang (Senior RA)
- Katherine Butterworth

Resident Adviser on duty
There is always a Resident Adviser (RA) on duty outside of business hours.
The duty RA and RAs generally have the responsibility for supporting community life and providing advice and assistance in College after hours. RAs are provided with training in how to deal with a wide range of circumstances and to provide advice and support to people with personal concerns. All of the RAs have first aid training and are able to provide such assistance when required as well as take people to hospital for additional treatment if required. The RAs also help to ensure that security in the building is maintained by working with residents to control the flow of non-residents into the building, and monitor visitors’ behaviour and movements.
The College expects residents to accept personal responsibility for their behaviour and anticipates that they will consider other residents' needs at all times. It may sometimes be necessary, however, for RAs to remind students that their behaviour is upsetting others or inappropriate. Residents are asked to comply with all requests from RA's as quickly as possible. RAs also act as wardens in the event of an emergency (fire, flood, natural disaster, building failure or explosion etc).
