The Affiliates

What Are Affiliates?


The Affiliates are a group of Advisors and Students who fulfill special roles before, during, and after O-Week. These include Peer Academic Advisors (PAAs), Diversity Facilitators (DFs), Martel College President, Chief Justice (CJ), Student Maintenance Representative (SMR), and Rice Health Advisors (RHAs). Each role has unique responsibilities with the aim of supporting, maintaining, and improving Martel and its community.

Peer Academic Advisors


Peer Academic Advisors are here to help support New Students when making course schedules for the Fall semester. They undergo specialized trainings about Rice academics in order to properly support each and every New Student individually. O-Week PAAs continue to be an academic resource to all students even after O-Week has ended.

Diversity Facilitators


Diversity Facilitators (DFs) are Advisors who, in addition to regular trainings, receive specialized trainings geared towards maintaining Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Not only are they a resource to New Students, they are also a resource to the O-Week team. Our DFs (shown below) have worked closely with the Coordinators to ensure that CalicO-Week is a welcoming environment and will continue to aid the Advising Team in maintaining a respectful and safe environment for all. Throughout the academic year, Diversity Facilitators serve as a liaison between each Residential College and the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
