2012-2013 Resident Assistant selection

Housing and Residential Life are in the process of promoting the Resident Assistant Selection for 2012-2013. They want to make sure students in the School of Communications are aware of the RA Selection Process. RAs play a significant role in building community among residents in on-campus housing, and Housing and Residential Life has no doubt that many of the students in your academic discipline possess the necessary skills to be successful in this endeavor. The Info Sessions (which are required for a student to receive an application) are coming up on Sunday, November 13, and Wednesday, November 16 (details below).

Consider the following perks of becoming a Resident Assistant:

• Meet new people
