JE College Aides

The College Aides are student workers who help the administrative staff to keep the college running smoothly. You can find them just inside the main JE gate in the Receiving Office, and they are your go-to troubleshooting resource. The hours of the Receiving Office are 9-5, Monday-Friday. The aides interact with the Head of College and the Associate Head of College, the Head of College’s Senior Administrative Assistant, the Operations Manager, and the House Service Assistant. The Aides also staff events like the College Teas, study breaks, and college picnics. College Aides also assist with the opening of the college and freshmen move-in at the beginning of the academic year and with commencement activities at the close of the academic year. To contact the JE Aides, email je.collegeaides@yale.edu.

Britney Gramajo Barrios | Head Aide 
britney.gramajobarrios@yale.edu

Britney is a senior from Westchester, New York majoring in Ethics, Politics, & Economics and Latin American Studies. On campus, Britney is involved with pre-law and mentorship groups including the Yale Undergraduate Legal Aid Association (YULAA) where she volunteers as a translator, the Yale Undergraduate Hispanic Pre-Law Association (YUHPLA) where she served as the Social Media Manager, and the Office of Educational Opportunity where she works as an FGLI Thrive Mentor. One of her most special commitments has been her involvement with the JE community through working as a JE Aide!
 
Favorite Memory: One of my favorite memories as an Aide (besides Commencement!) is working the special events such as Junior Sushi Night! After having worked the event twice, it was exciting to get to enjoy it as a junior myself, knowing all the hard work everyone puts in to make it the great event it is.

Ershai is a senior from Berkeley, California majoring in History. At Yale, Ershai has been involved with the Yale Policy Institute, serving as Head of the Equal Justice Center, as well as the Yale Undergraduate Prison Project (YUPP) and the Lowenstein Project at Yale Law School.

Favorite Memory: My favorite memory as an aide is working Commencement! It was so much fun bonding with the other aides, creating a meaningful sendoff for the seniors, working with Gygi, Nicole, and Shannon, and eating great food! It gave me a lot of appreciation for everything that makes JE and the residential college system so special!

Alex Bai
alex.bai@yale.edu

Alex is a sophomore from Los Angeles, California. He is majoring in the joint major of math and computer science and is doubling in economics. If he’s not hanging out with his friends from JE, you can probably find Alex in the gym. He loves lifting and hanging out with the other members of YPL and hopes to become a Gymshark athlete someday. Apart from that, Alex enjoys cooking and listening to music. 

Favorite Memory: Alex’s most vivid memory is working commencement with the other aides. Getting to live in the octet was awesome, and getting to bond with some of the aides that he didn’t know super well was so fun for him!
