Faculty directors
GCP Faculty Directors act as the intellectual head of their community, welcoming residents and guests into their homes each month to live and learn together. As residents of Harvard University Housing, you are invited to join them every month for Open House events or host conversations with special guests throughout the semester.

Community advisors
Community Advisors (CAs) are an integral part of the GCP team. They are residents of Harvard Housing from all Harvard affiliations, including graduate students, faculty, staff, postdoctoral fellows, partners, spouses, and family members. Passionate about hosting events, they enrich the Graduate Commons community and help residents get to know the people, places, and resources available at Harvard and the greater Boston area.
