Residence Life is looking for outgoing, dependable and sincere men and women to work as Resident Assistants (RAs).
Resident Assistants are student leaders who work in on-campus residence halls to provide a sense of community while serving as positive role models. RAs serve as peer advisors through interactions with residents and peer educators through programming initiatives.
If you are the type of person who enjoys being a positive role model and is genuinely interested in the welfare of your fellow students, then you are exactly the type of person that we are looking for. Not only do RAs receive valuable leadership training and experience - they also receive free housing for the academic year and a meal plan.
