What is a Resident/House Assistant (RA/HA)?
The Resident/House Assistant (RA/HA) is a registered full-time student employee who lives and interacts with their peers in a residence hall or apartment complex. The R/HA is a member of the Residence Life staff and actively participates in the development of a comprehensive residential life program.
This is an in-person position and requires you to live on campus.
The RA/HA position, due to its live-in nature, requires a willingness to be called into service at any time of the day or night in order to meet students' needs as they arise, even in times of emergency when the campus may close for extended periods of time. The RA/HA will function as a resource, mentor, policy enforcer, and peer advisor to residents. Therefore, availability, consistency, and interpersonal skills are of the utmost importance.
The RA/HA is expected to serve as a role model and abide by all University and Residential Life policies. The RA/HA is expected to adopt the goals of maintaining a safe, secure, inclusive, and comfortable living/learning environment. As a role model and a programmer, the RA/HA is further fulfilling the University's mission for education and service as well as maintaining good academic standing and continuing full-time student status.Â
