RA
Selection Process FAQs
Throughout the residence halls, there are floors
designated for specific programs such as first year students, wellness
programs, and academic
programs. Each of these floors has an RA on it that is usually
interested in that same program. The following are descriptions
of these programs.
Residential First Year Experience
Residential First Year Experience is a first year, all freshmen
community. There are several residence halls across campus that are designated
for
first year students who
are undeclared, or those who are interested in further major
exploration.
It is helpful if the RA in this program has a strong knowledge
of various majors and fields within the university and be
able to act
as a resource for undeclared students.
Living and Learning Community
An LLC is a Living
and Learning Community. There are several of these dorms across
campus
that are designated for students
who share similar
identities, interests and/or lifestyles. Resident Assistants
for these floors create and implement programs focused
on the interests
and need of the residents. An RA for one of the LLCs should
be dedicated and supportive of the identity, interests,
or lifestyle of the floor.
Talent Advancement Programs
TAP programs are floors designated to students
in a similar major or an academic interest area. There are
many TAP floors
across
campus, and for a variety of concentrations. An RA for
first year students
with the same academic interest will tailor programs and
other activities specifically toward the residents interests.
