What are the qualities of an RA?
There is no "cookie-cutter" RA! We are looking for candidates who exhibit creativity, enthusiasm, honesty, a strong work ethic, communication and leadership skills, responsibility and time management.
We will be looking for people who can positively contribute to each building community.
I don’t have a GPA at the time I submit my application.
Can I choose the hall I work in?
Can I work another job while being an RA?
How early do I have to come back in the summer?
Can you take time off?
Do we have to stay for all semester breaks?
Holiday duty is equally distributed among the hall staff members, so each RA will have to work a specified number of days during certain breaks, such as Fall or Spring Break.
Winter and Summer Breaks are not included in your employment contract but are available to be worked for additional compensation to you.
