Community Handbook:Involvement Opportunities

Within Residential Living and Learning, there are several opportunities to become involved and gain valuable experiences that will truly impact your collegiate career and enhance your overall residential experience. Below are a few of the opportunities that we provide.

Become a Student Staff Member

Being a student staff member offers a valuable opportunity for professional growth. Our student staff includes Customer Service Assistants (CSAs), Desk Assistants (DAs), Graduate Community Coordinators (GCCs), Operations Assistants (OAs), and Resident Assistants (RAs). Student staff members serve as peer educators, community builders, and early responders. They are trained to approach challenging situations with a focus on safety, learning, and empathy. The hiring processes for these roles typically begin toward the end of the fall semester.

If you are interested in joining our student staff team, please contact [email protected] for more information. All RLL student staff positions are listed on Hire-a-lion (Handshake) when open.

Hall Programming

Your building staff, in conjunction with your Community Director (CD), hosts a wide variety of programs throughout the academic year. The goal of these programs is to provide opportunities for residents to cultivate relationships with others in their building and connect with campus resources. Examples of traditional programs include Welcome Back Bar-B-Ques and Halloween in d’Skies, a Halloween party hosted in the Prairie Crossing garage. If you are interested in assisting or have ideas for programming, please contact your RA or CD.
