Resident Assistants

Resident Assistants (RAs) work in cooperatively with their house members to create an atmosphere of responsibility, consideration, and respect. These are the people who unlock the doors when students have locked themselves out, listen to students if they need to talk, and will point students in the right direction if they have any questions about the University. RAs also provide students with valuable and fun programs to give a balanced experience while here at university.

Resident Assistants address confidential, personal, social, medical, financial, or academic concerns. They are extremely knowledgeable and enjoy helping and are a friendly face to go to with any problems.
