Getting Involved

Make the most of your living experience by getting involved!

Living on campus isn't just about having a place to sleep and study. It's about being part of a larger community - on your floor, in your building and on campus. It's about making new friends, building relationships, succeeding academically and preparing yourself for the future. Residence Life offers numerous employment, leadership, and volunteer opportunities for students throughout the school year. Find out more about each of these experiences below!

Resident Advisors

Resident Advisors live on floors with resident students to offer advice, build community and provide educational programming for the students they serve. RAs hold community meetings, help students with administrative processes regarding their housing, enforce policies in the building, serve on department and campus committees, and respond to any other community needs and concerns.

Look for recruitment information sessions in the spring if you would like to find out more about being an RA!

Desk Clerks

Residence Life hires desk clerks and managers for the front desk of every building. These staff members provide 24 hour service to residents in the building. They are instrumental in the maintaining the security of the buildings by checking ID cards and registering all guests. They also give out packages, vacuums, cooking supplies, and recreational equipment. To find out more about being a desk clerk, ask your Hall Director or Assistant Hall Director.

Judicial Board

The Judicial Board serves two primary purposes. First, the Board hears and adjudicates cases regarding alleged University policy violations that adversely affect residence hall communities. As a result, students found responsible for violations learn to be accountable for their actions and the rationale behind University policies. Second, the Judicial Board serves as an opportunity for Board members to develop as students and future professionals. The J-board members are trained and challenged to apply learned ethics, analyze complex issues and information, formulate solid questions, make sound and well-reasoned decisions and develop and utilize active listening and writing abilities.
