The College Aides are essential in helping the college run smoothly. Their base of operations is at the front desk in the Head of College’s Office, where they check out keys to the basement activity rooms; receive and distribute mail; maintain Hopper’s bulletin boards and website; conduct tours; handle forms and purchases (trips, spirit wear, etc.), and answer many student questions. They help students who have been locked out of their suites, generally troubleshoot – and no Study Break would be complete without them!
The Aides also work in the House at College Teas, Mellon Forums, and the monthly Fellows’ dinners. College Aides assist with the opening of the college and first-year student move-in at the outset of the academic year and are critical to May commencement activities. Hopper College Aides are an integral part of day-to-day operations.
