We are on the lookout for authentic, approachable, outgoing, and open-minded students that would make great leaders as part of the upcoming 2019-2020 Residence Life staff team. We are hiring Resident Assistants!
Resident Assistants (RAs) are upper year student leaders who live in residence and are trained in a variety of areas such as leadership, coaching, crisis management, event planning, conflict mediation, equity, diversity, and inclusion. They provide a supportive “mentor-like” role on their floors, while working to increase school and community spirit through various community building activities. RAs work hard to develop lasting relationships with their residents, provide ongoing and individualized support, and ensure that residents benefit from their residence experience.
What's in it for students?
Aside from having a well-paid job on campus, the RAs learn a variety of skills and what it means to be a leader in residence and on campus! If that's not enough, here are some other perks for students in the role:
- Opportunity to expand their social network (new friends, peers, colleagues, etc.)
- Amazing resume experience
- Certification in SafeTALK (suicide awareness training)
- Receive a $1000 award ($500 each semester - full criteria on our website)
- Attend a comprehensive two-week training program - this includes a one-day leadership retreat to YMCA Camp Cedar Glen and a one-day student leadership summit on campus
- Receive Co-Curricular Record experience
- Opportunity to submit content for, present at, and attend the annual Residence Life Conference
- Invitation to optional team socials, both on and off-campus
If you can help spread the word about our applications, we would greatly appreciate it.
Please feel free to refer any interested students to our website where there is additional information, including our online applications. Information and applications are available here.
The deadline for students to apply is January 13, 2019 at 11:59 p.m.
