Residential Assistants
The Residential Assistants (RAs) assist residents with transitioning to living and learning at a university. They host community meetings whenever necessary to discuss topics regarding living on a college campus with the residents. Our RAs live on the second and third floors, but they both serve the entire building.
Faculty Fellows
Fellows are members of Northwestern University's faculty and staff that are affiliated with Shepard Residential College, often presenting fireside chats; being fellows of the month; attending weekly fellows lunches, fellows game night, and the fellows dinner during Wildcat Welcome. They also attend many Shepard events and enjoy interacting with Sheep in and out of the classroom, even teaching classes in SMQ. Shepard is a multi-thematic residential college, so we proudly boast the most academically diverse group of fellows on campus!
