Welcome to Dwight/Leach/Hamlin!

Greetings from your Residence Director:

    Hello! My name is Mukul Acharya and I am the Residence Director (RD) for the Dwight/Leach/Hamlin Cluster, also known as "DWEALIN." Our cluster is one of three clusters that surround the large, grassy quad in the Northeast area. This is a perfect place for activities planned by student leaders such as Resident Assistants (RAs), House Council and Northeast Area Government. Northeast is uniquely known for being the first residential area to be built at UMass Amherst!

    I have been on campus for many years, and I am excited that this is my second year working in the DWEALIN cluster. I am thrilled to work with a wonderful staff including 12 RAs, one Assistant Residence Director (ARD), one Cluster Office Manager (COM), and many Cluster Office staff. Together, along with other student leaders, our staff provides opportunities for students to get involved and connect with one another through programming and residence hall activities. Our staff members are also great at connecting you with other organizations and resources across campus. My office is located on the first floor of Leach Hall, room 112, next to the security desk - please stop by to say hello once you arrive on campus!

Greetings from your Assistant Residence Director:

    Hello! My name is Eboni Rafus and I am your Assistant Residence Director (ARD). I am a part-time, live-in, graduate student staff member who will help you make the most of your living experience in our cluster. I assist in the management and operation of the cluster by supervising the Resident Assistants (RAs) and Cluster Office Manager (COM), advising student leader groups, and much more!

    There are so many opportunities to get involved within Dwealin; you can join House Council, become a Leadership Ambassador, participate in our Living and Learning Communities, or attend floor and cluster-wide events. The opportunities are endless! We hope that you will take advantage of all of the wonderful opportunities that await you both in our cluster and throughout the campus. Once you are on campus, do not hesitate to stop by my office, located on the first floor of Leach Hall, room 114A, and say hi! I look forward to meeting you!
