About Earl Warren College

Earl Warren College was established in 1974 as the fourth undergraduate college at the University of California San Diego. The Warren College motto, "Toward a Life in Balance" is inspired by the philosophy of our namesake, former U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice Earl Warren. The College continues the legacy of Earl Warren by encouraging students to explore the relationship between ethics, society, and the law, and is dedicated to cultivating ethically responsible citizen scholars.

Our Mission Statement

Warren College enables students to:

Pursue a rigorous yet adaptable academic curriculum and a myriad of co-curricular opportunities

Strive toward a life in balance

What to expect as a Warren RA:

Warren ResLife promotes an inclusive, engaging, and enriching college experience. Being a part of the RA staff ensures an advancement of not only your leadership and soft skills, but it also ensures a friend group for life. Being a Warren RA means gaining a group of people that you share common values with.

Responsibilities of a Warren RA:

Warren RAs are bestowed with the incredible responsibility of hosting community programs for the residents of the Warren community.
Warren RAs serve in an on-call duty rotation from 5pm to 11pm M-F and Sat and Sun 9am to 11pm (duty times subject to change based on the needs of the community for future years) to assist with lock outs, address resident concerns, and monitor the safety and security of the community. Warren RAs are responsible for reminding residents to abide by the policies and regulations while residing in the residential complex.
Warren RAs work with residents to develop a sense of community, facilitate open and sensitive communication among apartment/suitemates, and organize social, educational, recreational, campus resource as well as social justice activities.
RAs are involved with many college and campus-wide activities and are great sources of information.

Warren RA Testimonials

RA Gabby

Being an RA has allowed me to be part of a supportive community where I’ve built lasting friendships and connections. I’ve especially enjoyed planning programs and seeing residents come together, feel welcomed, and create memories with each other. The role has also given me the opportunity to engage with diverse groups of people, learning about new cultures, holidays, religions, and beliefs that have broadened my perspective. It has been incredibly meaningful for both my life and education, helping me grow into a more confident leader who isn’t afraid to ask for help and who is well-informed about campus resources. Above all, the most rewarding part has been being able to help and support others in meaningful ways.

RA Alonzo

My RA experience has taught me how to better communicate with all kinds of people within Warren College, and handle situations of different severities in an appropriate and swift manner. My teamwork skills have also improved and shown me the different cultures and traits people have while also being able to remain professional whenever experiencing any sort of issue. I recommend being an RA for anyone who is looking to help out their community and wants to improve themselves as a person as well!

RA Margaux

Being an RA has helped me develop and refine my interpersonal and leadership skills! I have made connections within my own team and with my residents, making the Warren community feel tight knit and like a second home. I love seeing my residents interact with one another whether at one of my events, a bigger event, or even in passing on the lawn or in the dining hall. Throughout my experience in this role, I’ve grown closer to the UCSD and Warren community and I recommend it for anyone looking to do the same!
