### Resident Deans of First-Year Students (RDFs)

The RDFs oversee your academic, social, and extracurricular well-being. They care deeply about your success at the College and are a pillar of support during your first-year. They live on campus and are always available for a meeting, lunch, or casual conversation.

### Proctors

Proctors are graduate students and administrators who live in the dorms with students and create an academic and social community for the 20 to 40 first-year students in their entryway. Proctors host weekly study breaks and will help with your adjustment to Harvard. You'll find they are an excellent source of information about academics, extracurriculars, social life, and College resources.

### Specialty Proctors

In addition to their regular duties in the entryways, specialty proctors are responsible for providing class-wide programming in many different areas.
