Current Advocates
	Sorry, the cast of House was busy. I guess we’ll have to do. You’ll meet your very own advocate during Orientation, but feel free to contact any of the advocates with your questions and concerns. If you think you have the guts enough to be an advocate for next year’s class, an application will be send out during Spring term. Keep your eyes open
