At Radford University, we recognize that community involvement supports students' personal and academic success in college. Housing and Residential Life has some great opportunities to connect with residents, develop your leadership skills and enrich life on campus.
Resident Assistants (RA)
The Resident Assistant is a vital member of the Housing and Residential Life (HRL)
team, responsible for fostering a supportive and inclusive residential experience
within their assigned residential community. RAs serve as peer mentors and role models,
providing guidance, support, and resources to residents. They facilitate community-building
initiatives, organize social and educational programs, and enforce residence life
policies. RAs also serve as a liaison between residents and campus resources, advocating
for the needs of their peers while promoting a safe and respectful living environment.
RAs are directly supervised by a Resident Director (RD) who supports their development
in the RA role.
