The team facilitates daily operations and handles crises or emergencies should they arise. RA’s are also available to take students (17 and younger) to the doctor to conduct rounds to ensure health and safety. Our team meets with students to conduct mediation, conflict resolution meetings, friendship introductions, and any other situation students need assistance with.
Our summer interns participate in a robust selection process, including a formal application, one-on-one interviews, group evaluations, and background checks. Most of our interns are currently attending a university or have graduated. All candidates must have a dance background or share an appreciation for the performing arts.
