Employment Opportunities
Resident Assistants
Resident Assistants (RAs) are student staff members who live on campus to support residents in adjusting to university life, fostering a positive community, and navigating interpersonal challenges. They assist with roommate mediation, crisis response, and policy enforcement.
Your RA should be your first point of contact for issues such as roommate conflicts, getting involved in your community, or finding campus resources. RAs are available throughout the day, and each residential community has an RA on duty who can be reached via the designated duty phone for your building.
