Being a Resident Assistant (R.A.) is an extremely rewarding experience. RAs serve as campus resources and provide personal support to their resident students. Working as a team, RAs strive to maintain a safe, respectful, and friendly community environment. RAs also provide social and educational programs for their hall in an effort to connect the residence area with the academic and social life on campus. Resident Assistants learn a lot about themselves, develop valuable skills for life after college, and have a lot of fun!

The Resident Assistant Selection Process begins in November. Applications and reference forms are made available to interested students in the Office of Residential Life. In February, interviews are conducted for potential candidates and the "Residential Life Selection Day" follows. "Selection Day" is an event in which all candidates participate in structured leadership and team-building activities. The upcoming year's R.A. staff is selected based upon the reviews conducted throughout the application process.
