Resident Assistant (RA) Applications for 2024-2025 Open November 13
If your student intends to live in on-campus housing next year and is interested in serving as an RA, encourage them to apply when applications open on November 13. RAs help residents adjust to living on campus, develop a sense of community among residents, and monitor the safety and security of the residence halls. Throughout the year, RAs plan programs for residents, talk with residents about upcoming campus events, assist students in adjusting to campus living, and ensure residents are familiar with policies and procedures.
RAs receive a single room at no cost and work 8-12 hours a week at the Area Office, where they receive an hourly wage.
In addition to the financial benefits listed above, RAs also gain leadership experience, develop problem-solving and conflict-resolution skills, and enhance their communication skills. These are all desirable qualities employers seek for professional jobs.
