Resident Computer Coordinators

House staff members (along with RAs, Head AAs, TAs etc.) who manage computer clusters, provide computer-based education, consult with residents on any and all computer related problems. RCCs also teach the CS1c "Introduction to Micro Computing" course in each house. RCCs have become the primary campus consulting resource for Stanford's housed undergraduates. Our reliance on these expert students is the key to the efficiency and effectiveness of the program. A listing of the current Stanford Resident Computer Coordinators (RCC's) is given in the RCC Directory. There is also a detailed job description.
