We’re Here for You!
Moving to campus can be a tough adjustment for many students. That’s why University Housing staffs each hall with trained professionals and student staff members to assist residents twenty-four hours a day.
Resident Assistant (RA)
One of the first people that you will meet is the resident assistant or RA, on your floor or breezeway. RAs are students who have gone through a lengthy selection process and completed comprehensive training to learn about themselves and others. They are familiar with campus resources and have developed strong referral skills. Your RA will get to know and support the students on your floor and work with you to build a positive living environment. Your RA is a valuable source of information. Be sure to introduce yourself the first chance you get!
Hall Director
Another individual who will prove helpful to you is your hall director. Each director manages a residence hall and can answer questions and assist you with academic and other services. The RAs report directly to the hall director.
