Resident Advisor (RA)
Student staff members who live on the residence hall floors. Residential Life places a high emphasis on the educational role of the RA in building a sense of community on their floor.

Some RAs also serve as the primary educator and resource for Freshman Interest Groups (FIGs).

Freshman Interest Groups (FIGs)
