"Being in the RA role has afforded me the opportunity to build connections and have various experiences across campus. From engaging with a diverse student community to collaborating with different campus partners, the Resident Assistant position has been very unique and impactful."

Amia M.

RA for The Village and Cedarbrook Apartments

"The RA role has helped me become more confident. I really enjoy meeting new people and making connections with students I probably wouldn't have met otherwise. All the training and programs we do as being an RA, like CPR/AED certification, staff meetings, one-on-ones with my RLC, and monthly hall events, have taught me important skills."

Saleep S.

RA for Vann Hall

"Being an RA has taught me to develop relationships with other co-workers and my supervisors. Not just in a professional manner but also in building trust and friendships with those that you work with."

Emory R.

RA for Sigma Nu

"What I like most about the RA role is the opportunity you have to really pour into the people on your floor. Especially in the freshman dorms, you have the ability to make their transition a little more seamless. It has shaped me as an individual because it has allowed me to be a leader to the girls on my floor. I try to be there for them to the best of my ability, whether that is for advice, help, or a listening ear."
