Anne G. Douglas ’12, co-chair of the Adams House Committee, said the number of available spots can change throughout the year as current tutors finalize their plans.
“It isn’t really a black and white process because even when they send out the invitations to applicants, things can still change,” Douglas said.
Many Houses involve students and tutors in the selection process, which generally involves reviewing the applications and a series of interviews.
“We’re looking for someone that either has experience in a residential community or really does seem to value community,” Saldarriaga said.
House Masters have the final say in tutor hiring.
