In addition to regular Residential Counselor duties, Head Counselors (HCs) have an increased supervisory and leadership role.

HCs supervise and manage the other counselors in the residence. This includes coordinating their schedules, making sure they tend to the duties that they are assigned, and ensuring the counselors work together as an effective team. The HC also acts as the residence's primary liaison with parents, higher level EPGY staff, and other University offices.
