Resident Advisors
We currently employ 48 student staff members as Resident Advisors (RA) who assist and enhance our goal to build community within our residence halls. The RA’s on campus are present to serve the first year, transfer, and second year residential students living on campus for Spring 2021, and are following all health and safety guidelines provided by the University. These staff members dedicate countless hours to training, programming, and community building to help us strengthen the undergraduate experience.
