Community Directors and Resident Assistants
Meet the 2021–22 Community Directors and Resident Assistants
We employ full-time university staff and numerous students to meet the needs of all our campus residents. Representing each housing community is a full-time staff member called a community director who works with each floor's or unit's resident assistant (R.A.). This team approach provides residents with the help, encouragement, and support they need to ensure the best of campus housing.

RAA RESPONSIBILITIES
- Residential Academic Ambassadors (RAA) live in Hamilton, Honors, and the Woods. They hold office hours and study tables for residential students to access one on one academic support, group study sessions, and host fun events right where you live! Residential Academic Ambassadors create programs and academic initiatives that align with Residence Life programmatic goals as well as the goals of collaborating Colleges. This includes bulletin boards, virtual content, community programming, and other initiatives related to each RAA academic focus as well as general student success. The RAA works with Resident Assistants (RAs) and Residential Organizations to provide opportunities for collaboration. RAAs also hold weekly office hours and study tables (5 hours) in your assigned community office/lounge, advertising so students can stop by for help 1-1 or in a group setting. Finally, RAAs hold review sessions during mid-terms, finals week, and as needed.
