Resident Assistants | ||||||||||||||
Resident Assistants (RAs) work in cooperation with the 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. | ||||||||||||||
House Presidents | ||||||||||||||
The House President (HP) is responsible for organizing and running house events and keeping the house informed of events and activities that are taking place throughout the year. HPs will organize House events at various locations around the City, House dinners, bonfires, movie nights, and much more.
