I Can Transform Ya...

Good morning, everyone!

Welcome back from Thanksgiving break!  I hope it was nice and relaxing for each of you.

I want to make you aware of a leadership opportunity on campus that can transform ya!  Many of you interact with people in this leadership basis on a regular basis and have been impacted by the ways they help your experience here as a student.  This leadership position is the Resident Assistant position.

The Resident Assistant is responsible for an on-campus residential floor, wing, pod, building, or area. The Resident Assistant serves as a facilitator to encourage a positive and welcoming, healthy and safe, cooperative and considerate living environment. The RA is expected to help build a strong, inclusive community by initiating and organizing floor, wing, pod or hall activities and programs. The RA serves as an information resource for the campus and residence hall. The RA also serves to assist with the personal and academic concerns of the resident and to help manage conflicts that may arise in the residential area. Therefore, an RA is expected to be a person who cares about their residents and continuously strives to make the residence hall a valuable and educational place to live.

The responsibilities of the Resident Assistant are numerous and varied. The following is a representative list of Resident Assistant responsibilities.

I hope that some of you will consider applying.  Click here for much more information and the link to the application.  Also, feel free to contact the Landing Residence Coordinator at kolkmeierk@uncw.edu if you'd like to set up a meeting to talk more about the RA position!

Until next time...
Katie
