Introducing: The Santa Fe Summer Academy RA’s

It’s finally time for Summer Academy Santa Fe!

Well, for this year’s attendees that is. For the Summer Academy crew here at the St. John’s College Santa Fe campus, these weeks are the culmination after months of preparation and training to create an exciting and unforgettable experience for everyone. We hope you’ve all been reading your seminar texts!

We’re sure all of you are interested in getting to know the Resident Assistants (RA’s) that will be taking care of your dorms, hosting guerrilla seminars and assisting in other activities throughout the week. All our RA’s are students here at St. John’s College, and are all willing and able to speak about their own experiences here. Below is a bit of information about each of them to get you started.
