What is an RA?

What's an RA?
A RA, (or CA, SA, RC, etc) is a student who lives in a university residential facility and acts as a resource for the students on their floor or in their area of the building.  

RAs play a key role in creating an environment for students that is conducive to academic, personal and social growth.

RAs develop social, academic and cultural activities for their residents.  A RA is a friend, resource, mentor, role model and community leader in their hall.  

RAs develop strong leadership and interpersonal skills which build them into strong leaders and give them skills they can use for the rest of their lives.
