CAs also assist with roommate mediation, crisis response, and policy enforcement. The CA should be your first contact for situations such as: roommate conflicts, getting involved in your community, identifying campus resources, and other residential assistance. CAs live in every community across campus. Students can reach their CA throughout the day or the CA on duty every night from 8:00 pm – 7:00 am; the CA on duty can be reached by calling the duty phone for your building, which is posted around the hall.
