The opportunity
Note : This is not an open application. This posting is for those who interviewed and were selected to be a Resident Assistant (RA) for the 2025-2026 academic year. DO NOT APPLY IF YOU WERE NOT OFFERED A POSITION BY RESIDENCE LIFE.
I accept the RA position for the 2025-2026 academic year and will fulfill the duties outlined in the RA job description. If I was offered the Peer Advisor (PA) position (current RAs only) , I accept the position and will fulfill the duties outlined in the PA job description.
If offered a position in an apartment or suite-style housing (East Side Apartments, Monadnock, and East Side Residence Halls), I acknowledge that I will be living with others in a shared space and will begin to connect with potential roommates. More information on roommate selection will be shared soon.
I will make every effort to attend Welcome Day on Wednesday, April 2nd at 4 : 00pm. Any issues regarding attendance should be discussed with Johnny Beksha prior to this day.
I will attend RA training, which has an anticipated start date of August 18th, 2025. This is our annual mandatory training that runs for two weeks, lasting through opening / move-in weekend. You should not have any outside commitments during this time. Any issues regarding attendance should be discussed with Johnny Beksha and your future supervisor.
I will attend all other meeting and training dates during the application and on-boarding process.
Weekly staff meetings for all RAs will be on Wednesdays from 5 : 30pm-7 : 30pm. I will be sure that this time is free during the year so that I can attend these meetings.
I will attend and participate in all other employment, meeting, and training dates throughout the academic year. This includes, but is not limited to, all-staff meetings, move-in weekend, break closings and openings, winter training, admissions events, end of year closing, etc. Exact dates will be provided during August training.
I will attend and assist with the recruitment and hiring of RAs for the 2026-2027 academic year, including participation in Group Process and RA interviews.
I will continue to abide by all community standards set forth by the university and maintain a 2.5 cumulative GPA. I understand that failure to do so could result in loss of this position.
