Resident Assistant Selection 2008

Message from the Director

ra_selection200.jpg
The Office of Residential Life begins the important process of selecting Resident Assistants (RA’s) in January.  Each RA represents the Office of Residential Life as a key staff member. They work under the direct supervision of a professional staff member known as an Area Coordinator.  Together, these staff members work with students to create and maintain a residence hall atmosphere that fosters meaningful educational opportunities as well as valuable personal growth experiences.  In addition to obtaining actual course credit, RA’s complete an extensive training program that offers them an opportunity to develop valuable interpersonal and organizational skills.

For candidates, the selection process consists of an application (including essays and two recommendations), a group interview, and an individual interview. Students who are interested in applying must be currently enrolled fulltime students, with a cumulative GPA of at least 2.25, and must be in good judicial standing with the University. 

Successful candidates will have the desire and are willing to accept the commitment necessary to make a difference in the lives of their peers. These individuals must possess qualities of leadership, organization and genuine compassion towards their fellow students.  We strongly suggest that candidates gather as much information about the job as possible during the selection process.  Residential Life staff members (including current RA’s) will be available in the Miley Lobby from January 28th through February 1st, 11:30am to 1:00pm.  Interested candidates can ask questions about the job, the selection process, and also to grab an application.  Candidates should also consider attending an Information Session and talking to their RA to find out more about what it’s like to hold such an important position. 

Being an RA is not just a job, it’s a lifestyle.

Sincerely,

Dennis DelGizzo
