Resident Assistants (RA's)
(RA's) are student staff members charged with getting to know YOU! RA's deliver community engagement opportunities, serve in a duty rotation, and spend time monitoring the wellbeing of their residents. At periodic points each month, your RA will reach out to you. These touchpoints serve as a way for your RA to get to know you better, develop rapport, and ensure you are doing okay. One question to ask yourself at this point in the year – “have you met your RA yet?” If you haven’t, please reach out to connect and don’t be surprised when they do the same!
