Redefine & Redesign the Position to Reinvigorate Your Program & Meet Current Needs
It’s time to reimagine the traditional Resident Advisor (RA) model to develop tailored roles that meet the needs of today’s students and campuses. By adjusting what it means to be an RA, you can reinvigorate this important role and infuse a new level of excitement amongst student leaders and students alike.
Join our presenter on April 17, 2025, as he explores current issues with today’s RA positions including compensation, high-stress engagement, institutional climate and increased student staff burnout. Reimagining/designing what an RA can do – and recognizing that they can serve a role beyond just a resource to Residence Life – can reinvigorate your program, encourage increased interest, and maximize human and fiscal resources.
Utilize benchmarking data and best practices to guide strategic priorities and explore new trends in RA positions that you can implement on your campus. Develop and execute a comprehensive communication plan to effectively introduce the “redesigned” RA position, engage key stakeholders, and reinvigorate the desire to serve in this important role.
