Resident Assistant (RA) Position Information
Resident Assistants are trained student leaders who have the responsibility of supervising students living in a residence hall while having the opportunity to demonstrate the values of 果冻传媒 within the campus setting.
RAs are the most direct liaisons between 果冻传媒’s administration and its residential student body. RAs spend significant time undergoing training in crisis management, student advocacy, programming, time-management, and peer counseling. Because of the skills developed through these positions, RAs are often prepared to make successful transitions from the college environment to the job market demonstrating strong leadership training, management skills, and community involvement as part of their collegiate experience.
