Student Staff

Residence Hall Staff
Each residence hall staff includes a full-time professional live-in staff member and a team of trained student leaders commonly known as Resident Assistants (RAs). RAs complete an extensive selection and training program in preparation for their responsibilities in the residence halls. A live-in staff member is also available at the Sheraton Fairplex to provide counseling, programming, enforce policy and act as a liaison between the Office of Housing and Residential Life and the Sheraton Fairplex management staff.

Resident Assistants (RA)
An RA is a peer-level advisor, informal counselor, program facilitator, disciplinarian, and friend to residential students. They are the day-to-day contact person for their "community." A community is a floor or wing under the guidance of the RA. However, RAs are also responsible to the entire residential complex. RAs are on duty in each residence hall and available at a hall desk between 5:30pm - 11:00pm each evening and in their rooms between 11:00pm - 8:00am.

Housing Student Leader Selection Process

Additional preparation may include peer-counseling experience, development of leadership techniques, experience working with groups and coordinating events.
