What is a Resident Assistant?
Resident assistants (RA) are community development specialists. Their various duties focus on the development of a floor and hall community. Each RA is responsible for organizing social and educational floor events, participating in conflict resolution activities, responding to crisis, servicing as a referral source and assisting with the adjustment issues that face new and returning students.
Each floor is staffed with a student paraprofessional staff member called a Resident Assistant (RA). RA’s receive extensive training and are able to help residents deal with the challenges of college and living with others in the residence halls. Your RA also is responsible for managing many administrative tasks for your community. Do not hesitate to see your RA if you have any questions regarding the residence halls or the university.
