Understanding the Role of Your Resident Assistant

It's getting to be that time of year where the staff in Residential Programs is getting ready for your return to campus! The Resident Assistants (RAs) are due to return to campus in just a few weeks!

Your RA is an upper class student leader who is a representative of the Office of Residential Programs. RAs have gone through an extensive selection process and training to be resources within the residence halls. There is one located on every floor. Your RA will put on programs for you in your building that provide social and educational opportunities for you and your fellow residents.

Your RA is a resource for you. Feel free to speak with them about any problem, from academic concerns to issues with your roommate, as they are more than happy to help you or point you in the right direction. In your residence hall, there is an RA on duty every night to help with any issues that may arise, as well as maintain safety in the residence hall.

There are a few opportunities to become a resident assistant throughout the year. The next application process beginning in October. Look for advertisements and of course, speak with your RA!
