Resident Assistant Staff

A Resident Assistant (RA) is someone who lives in a residence hall and acts as a resource for the students on their floor. RAs play a key role in creating an environment for students that is conducive to academic, personal and social growth. RAs develop social, academic and cultural activities for their residents.
