Second-year RAs step up to help lead the Hill

Strolling down the hall on the fifth floor of Hedrick Summit, Taylor Briglio casually chats and jokes with residents as they prepare to go to a floor dinner.

The environmental science student is one of a minority of second-year resident assistants on the Hill.

Briglio decided in November of his first year to apply to become an RA, appreciating the sense of community his own RAs created the year before.

Although he served on floor government in Courtside his first year, Briglio said he didn’t expect to be a resident assistant by his second year.

Briglio was initially chosen as an alternative applicant.
