Resident Assistants (RAs) are an integral part of the Residence Life Team. RAs are student leaders who live in the residence halls and help create a welcoming, inclusive, and safe community. They serve as peer mentors, community builders, and campus resource connectors. RAs plan events, support residents through challenges, uphold university policies, and help make on-campus living a positive and engaging experience.

Each Residence Hall has between 5-8 RAs per building.

In addition to traditional RA responsibilities, living-learning community (LLC) RAs also work closely with the LLC to which they are assigned to support students through their shared interests. LLC RAs work in partnership with a faculty partner to help plan additional programs and experiences for residents.

Apartment Community Assistants (ACAs) are an integral part of the Residence Life Team who live in our apartment communities. ACAs serve as community managers, resources, and role models who uphold university values, assist with daily operations, and support residents through meaningful interactions. The ACA role is more operational, collaborating with our apartment management company, Peak, to work more routinely in the apartment office, issuing packages, and responding to student needs. 

ACAs will share a two-bedroom apartment with another ACA in one of the 3 apartment complexes. Applicants considered for Greyhound Village must be 20 years or older by January 15th of the employment year.
