About the Job
Being a Resident Advisor (RA) is an experience unlike any other. As an RA, you will develop meaningful relationships with your residents, build community within your building and floor, balance your academic responsibilities with your RA responsibilities, address students’ concerns and needs, plan and execute programming, confront conflict situations, embrace diversity, and foster lifelong relationships. You are the example for your peers!
The Residence Life Department needs qualified, responsible, and energetic students to be leaders in the residence halls. Being an RA comes with many benefits along with a lot of responsibility; only the best-qualified candidates are chosen. Resident Advisors are peer advisors trained to assist students with academic, personal, or behavioral problems. RAs are selected for their experience, leadership ability, and interest in others. They help residents grow socially and academically by maintaining a close relationship with each students and by fostering an effective living-learning environment.
