Resident Assistants (RAs)
RAs are full-time students, selected and trained by Housing and Dining Services, who offer you day-to-day living assistance. RAs live on each floor to help residents with problems and concerns. One of the RA's most important roles is to help you and your neighbors maintain a community environment that supports your ability to learn and succeed in college. RAs create this environment through special programs, intentional interventions, management of resources and hall leadership responsibilities. RAs are also responsible for communicating and interpreting university and residence hall policies and regulations and responding to unacceptable behavior that violates policies and regulations.
