Why Become a Resident Assistant?
As a student, your experience living on campus is as important as your academic experience. Adjusting to living in a residence hall sometimes requires a little assistance. That is where the role of a resident assistant (RA) comes into play.
You could have a chance to engage in one of the premier leadership opportunities on campus by serving as an RA. That role is not just a job, but a chance to become part of a larger tradition of leadership at Springfield College.
RAs serve as the first point of contact for those living in the residence halls.
Duties include:
- Assisting other students in finding campus resources
- Hosting educational and social events
- Documenting policy violations, and more
As an RA, you’ll:
- Receive free housing and a meal plan credit as part of your compensation
- Develop leadership skills that will serve you long after graduation
- Support and engage your peers by creating welcoming communities
- Build your resume with skills in teamwork, problem-solving, and communication
