Looking for an involvement opportunity next year? We are actively recruiting students to be Residence Advisors. Many RAs tell us this was an amazing experience and most re-apply. Highlights of the job include: community building, teamwork, and experience with event planning, project management as well as personal development. We’re looking for hard-working, outgoing, and responsible staff members to help enhance the residence life experience for other students. If you want to be part of providing a place that helps students succeed, while having fun, we want to hear from you.
