Learn to Lead

University Housing offers students influential and meaningful leadership opportunities.

 

Resident Assistants

Resident assistants (RAs) are part-time live-in student leaders in the residence halls. As a resident assistant, you have the opportunity to act as a cultural navigator of students’ experience, assist students with academics, help students develop relationships across campus, and most importantly, assist students in having a positive experience living and learning in our communities. RAs commit an average of 20 hours per week.

Application Information

The resident assistant application is open. For more information about being an RA, read the position description.

  • Application deadline: February 6
