Nominations sought for resident advisors (RA) The Housing Office is currently accepting applications for resident advisors for the 2009-10 academic year. As an integral part of the housing staff, resident assistants live and work with new and returning students in the residence halls. RAs learn skills in administration and programming functions, as they build a positive living environment. Faculty and staff are encouraged to nominate qualified students for the position of RA. All candidates must attend one information session before the end of fall semester. For times and locations of these sessions, see the Web site www.housing.und.edu/reshalls/ra.shtml The qualities of a good RA include a strong academic background (minimum of 2.5 GPA), effective leadership and communication skills, prior residential group living experience, and willingness to assist new residents with the transition to college and community living. Benefits include a single room waiver, monthly salary and life skills that are transferable to a successful career. We appreciate your assistance in recruiting student leaders. Please submit names of qualified candidates to: Missy Burgess, Stop 9029, or e-mail referrals to missyburgess@mail.und.edu by Dec. 1. We will contact the student and send them information regarding an RA information session. If you have any questions, please call 701-777-8877. -- Missy Burgess, Assistant Director, Housing, missyburgess@mail.und.edu, 777-8877
