Community Advisors are student peer leaders; professional Residential Life/Student Affairs staff supervise the residence-hall program and handle higher-level housing matters.

Menlo says residence halls are supervised by professional Residential Life staff and student Community Advisors. CAs support students and community life, while professional staff administer housing, conduct, accommodations and escalated decisions.
