How To Be A Resident Advisor

275 Words2 Pages

Resident Advisors fulfill many requirements from mentor to role model to someone of spectacular organizational skills. It’s important for a Resident Advisor to be someone that residents can come to when they’re struggling in any aspect of their life and that advisor can direct them to the resources that are available here on campus for that problem. I understand that it would be my responsibility to create a safe space for my residents where they feel that they can be themselves and that they are at home. It’s also my responsibility to watch out for the well-being of my residents since for many of them this will be the first time they will be away from home. I believe that an excellent Resident Advisor ensures that each and every resident

  • Resident Assistant Observation

    If you were to ask me a year ago what the purpose of a resident assistant is, I probably would have said “to be the parent of the dorm.” While in many ways this statement is true, I know now that an RA's role extends deeper than the statement portrays. My second year of living on campus has allowed me to observe a few of the overlooked duties of an RA such as updating residents on resources through bulletin boards and maintaining discipline by enforcing quiet hours. Summarizing just a few of my observations, I can confidentially say that an RA's responsibility as a "parent" includes maintaining good order in the residence hall, maintaining a positive living environment, and promoting academic, personal and social growth among students.

    If I was to become an RA, I would like to build connections with both my residents and my fellow Resident Assistants by holding events and working to build a diverse, caring community. I think connection can have a big effect on the RA staff as connection leads to better teamwork and collaboration, meaning the RA staff would work together more cohesively and thus make the experience of the residents more enjoyable. Building connections with and between your residents can have a very positive effect, as not only will they have a support system in place, they will also have a safe place to find friends, learn about differences among people, and find their place within the Geneseo community.

This in turn produces efficient and effective students who become competent and will have mastered the craft and art of caring.
