Resident Advisers (RAs)

RA's are student workers assigned to a specific set of students.  They are responsible for supervising and assisting residents at all times, as well as dividing up on-call time.  They provide students with a peer confidant that can give them guidance in a time of need from something as simple as a lock out to needing a shoulder to cry on.  RAs are a residents first contact, if they can't solve the problem themselves, they can lead a student in the right direction.
