Posted on behalf of the Harvard College Dean of Students Office
We are currently recruiting new proctors for the 2026-2027 academic year to live and work alongside first-year students, guiding and supporting them as they navigate their transition into the Harvard College community.
Proctors are graduate students who live in the first-year dorms and serve as academic, residential, social, and personal advisors to first-year students.
Make a difference in the lives of exceptional students while gaining a unique professional development experience and joining a diverse, supportive community.
To learn more, join our info sessions and hear from current proctors about their experiences:
- Information Session 1 – Thursday, November 20 at 6:30 PM in the Grays Hall Common Room
- Information Session 2 – Wednesday, December 3 at 5:30 PM in Straus Hall Common Room
- Webinar – Wednesday, December 3 at 7:00 PM
The 2026-27 proctor application will open in early December. Applications submitted before the priority deadline of January 5 will be considered for all proctor openings. Any applications received after the priority deadline will be reviewed on a rolling basis until all anticipated vacancies are filled.
