Creating a “home away from home” atmosphere for students from around the world, Penn State Brandywine’s resident assistants juggle many roles, including college student, counselor, mentor and campus resource.
Penn State Brandywine sophomore Lindsay Koch became the first residential student in the campus' history when she moved into the newly built Orchard Hall on Aug. 11. Koch is a resident assistant and vice president of the student government association.
Don Brennan has joined Penn State Brandywine as the new assistant director of residence life, as the campus is preparing to open its first residence hall and new student union building in August.
Before students move into Penn State Brandywine’s new residence hall in August 2017, a team of campus staff members will have put hundreds of hours into making the building a home. Spearheading that effort is Interim Assistant Director of Residence Life Iris Richardson.
