Resident Assistants (RAs) are student leaders who live on the floors of the residence halls with the residents. RAs promote and provide leadership, support, friendship, programs, and special events. They assist residents in becoming more integrated into the campus and residential community. They are trained in conflict mediation and will help you find the University resources you need. RAs are directly supervised by Residence Directors who also live in campus housing.
Residential hall staff members play a vital role in many important aspects of residential life. Residence Directors are full-time professional staff members who assume major responsibility for the overall operation of the residence hall and apartment communities. These staff members help you utilize the facilities to their fullest, adjust to university life, and act as advisers and counselors to students and organizations within the residential community. Other key student staff members in the residence halls and apartments are Academic Support Assistants, Student Managers, Technology Assistants, Maintenance Assistants, Students Assistants, and Clubhouse recreation staff. All of these staff members provide valuable services to the residents in living on campus.
