Resident Coordinators
The Graduate Housing Office employs various students and student spouses living in the dormitory or apartment areas as Resident Coordinators—staff that assists with administrative needs of the GHO, social programming for our residents and children’s playgroups, as well as general assistance to students and families living in our areas.
To contact the Resident Coordinators of your area, please review your Graduate Housing Student Handbook (names and contact information are listed in the corresponding Apartments and Dormitories sections) or contact the GHO at Grad.dorms@yale.edu or grad.apts@yale.edu.
