There are six Resident Assistants that live and work in Katharine Parker Hall. The RAs are responsible for nurturing and maintaining the development of a tight and respectful community in the house. Each resident plays a big part in this development, but the RAs play a critical role in the planning of events, orchestrating and running of house meetings, listening to and referring residents for additional assistance, and enforcing all College policies. The RAs for Katharine Parker Hall are supervised by the Assistant Dean that lives in Katharine Parker Hall.
Limited parking is shared with Sorority Court in the lot behind the building. Katharine Parker Hall is easily accessible to Sorority Court, the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity house, the Ogle Center, Donner and Ide Halls, and the Center for Free Inquiry.
