EPGY residential counselors are selected from the best and the brightest university undergraduates and graduates, who have a passion for teaching and mentoring others. They are primarily current or former Stanford students; however, other universities such as Princeton, Harvard, UC Berkeley, and Cal Tech have been represented in past years. The counselors serve a dual role while supervising the students in their residential life: providing innovative social programming and supervision for EPGY outings and activities in addition to serving as teaching assistants for the academic program. EPGY Summer Institutes traditions include an EPGY Carnival, a concert, a talent show, chess tournaments, ultimate Frisbee, the Rubik's cube, and other sports and games. Each residence has six counselors, one of whom serves as the Head Counselor. The residential staff is supervised by the Residential Director who is assisted by Activities Coordinators, and other EPGY staff, for the full range of residential needs. "The counselors were very smart and good at explaining things, and they were also very cool people. When a counselor will help you with your work patiently and helpfully and then come play 4-square and tag with you, something must be very, very right."
