Thank you for your interest in joining Residence Life! Working in Residence Life is a unique experience because you work where you live and learn. This can provide a very challenging and rewarding experience.
Our positions offer students the opportunity to develop leadership, encourage organizational and time management skills, and prepare individuals for careers after graduation.
Resident Assistants (RAs)
RAs are students of sophomore, junior, or senior status who act as role models, counselors, teachers and administrators for their building. RAs work with their Residence Life Coordinator to plan programs for the building and their individual areas. They also enforce policy and communicate important information to residents. RAs are a vital part of our residence halls, and ensure a sense of belonging among our residents.
RAs receive a free room and a meal plan as compensation.
Hiring
Typically, RAs are hired in the spring before the upcoming academic year. Occasionally, we have openings in the spring semester and will conduct a search for those openings at the end of the preceding fall semester.
