Resident Advisors (RAs) are full-time third- or fourth-year undergraduate students who, under the supervision and direction of the Area Director & Residence Hall Director, serve as an educator, counselor, administrator, role model, friend, and team member for the residents of a floor or wing in a residence hall. The RA works to create and maintain a healthy environment for the academic and personal growth of the students within their assigned living unit. In carrying out his/her duties, the RA is expected to treat other students, supervisors, and fellow employees with courtesy and respect. SYE RAs work specifically to meet the needs of second-year students, assisting them with goal-setting and planning through daily interactions and one-on-ones with their residents.
