residential advisors

A residential advisor (RA) is a trained student staff member responsible for supporting residents in a college or university dorm. They help create a safe, comfortable community by enforcing rules, mediating conflicts, and providing guidance. RAs also organize activities and serve as a resource for academic and personal concerns. Their role combines leadership, mentorship, and conflict resolution to foster a positive living environment. They typically live in the residence hall and are accessible for students seeking assistance or support.
