What issues are RAs trained to deal with?
RAs are trained to respond in a number of areas, including how to build inclusive, engaging communities that address the needs and interests of residents. RAs, along with Multicultural Peer Advisors and Academic Peer Advisors are also trained in diversity and social justice, academic issues, conflict resolution and crisis response. Essential to the training of the residence staff is connecting them with the many resources and support services on the campus.
