Resident Advisor Experience

Lead Where You Live

Resident Advisors (RAs) serve as mentors within Residential Life. These students work closely with Residential Life leadership and connect fellow residents to community and support.

As an RA, you will lead fellow residents by creating a strong sense of belonging, a welcoming community, and a culture of success. In addition, you will help plan activities that drive student engagement on campus.
