Community Living

Community Advisors work with our on-campus student population in all of our residence halls and wear many "hats," such as community builder, residential educator and programmer, community standards educator, peer advisor and team player within Community Living.

Here is the 2026-2027 Community Advisor Position Description.

The New Community Advisor Application deadline is December 5th, 2025 at Noon via Google Forms.

• The New CA Application does not allow you to submit multiple responses. We recommend that you use the New Community Advisor Application - PDF Version to review the application and prepare your responses to the application questions in a separate document. Once you have completed your responses, input them into the Google Form and review prior to submitting.
• Once you submit your New CA Application, you will receive a copy of your application to your Brandeis email. If you do not receive a copy, please email caselection@brandeis.edu. 
• Candidates will be notified of their status in the process the week of December 15th.  

Interested in learning more about the CA position and how to successfully navigate the application process?  We hope you will attend one of our CA Recruitment Information Sessions!  You will have the opportunity to talk to current CAs, learn more about the position and get any questions you have answered. These sessions will be hosted in each residence hall, so be on the lookout for information advertised in the halls soon! If you don’t currently live in a residence hall or are unable to attend the info sessions, we will post an information session for you here on this site to view soon.
