Assistant Rector (3rd Floor)

Dorrian Cohen

When I first arrived as a founding member of Baumer Hall in 2020, Baumer made up for a lack of pre-existing traditions with a seemingly endless supply of hall spirit and COVID-19. I could not be more elated to return to Baumer Hall as Assistant Rector. I'm a second-year Biology PhD student after graduating from Notre Dame in 2024 with a major in Biological Sciences and a supplemental major in Theology. I'm from about two hours north of New York City and love driving through the monotonous and endless woods of Pennsylvania to go from South Bend to New York. I enjoy board games, exercise, and stand-up comedy. 

Year: Class of 2024 (undergrad), When I've finished (Graduate)

Hometown: Poughquag, New York

Undergrad Majors and Minors: Biological Sciences, Theology (supplemental); Glynn Family Honors Program

Graduate Program: Biology PhD

Undergrad: University of Notre Dame

Graduate: University of Notre Dame (current)

General Meeting Times: Lunches, dinners, and whenever I'm on duty.

Fun Fact: My hometown has a sign that says "Welcome to Poughquag; Established a Long, Long Time Ago." To my knowledge, it is not a Star Wars reference.

Favorite Memory In Baumer: Baumer Hall winning Hall of the Year in the 2025-2026 academic year.

Meet the Baumer Hall Resident Assistants


1st Floor RA

Gage Whitton

Hey everyone! My name is Gage Whitton, and I will be the RA on the first floor this year. This will be my second year on the first floor, and I can honestly say, from living on other floors, that it is the best section. I transferred into Notre Dame as a Sophomore through the Gateway Program. I am studying Strategic Management and Political Science with a minor in Real Estate, and I plan to attend law school after graduation. I am originally from San Diego, California, also known as America's Finest City (and best!). In my free time on campus, I am a member of the Pre-Law Student Board, the Moreau First-Year Peer Leadership Program, and the Institute for Ethics and the Common Good, and I work as a teaching assistant. I also follow sports and other current events closely, so I'm happy to discuss anything happening in the world. I am extremely excited to learn about what you are passionate about and what brings you happiness. Let's make 2025-26 the best voyage Baumer Hall has taken yet. Go Bucs!

Year: Class of 2026

Hometown: San Diego, CA

Majors: Strategic Management and Political Science

Minor: Real Estate

General Meeting Times: Friday Mornings

Fun Fact: I am a dual citizen. I got Italian citizenship when I was in high school. 

Favorite Memory in Baumer: My favorite Baumer memory is each spring break with Ron and the crew.
