Senior Resident Assistant (SRAs)
The Senior RA job is a crucial part of our Residential Life system. SRAs assist the Hall Director in each of our large halls with staff supervision and training as well as advising the hall council. This is a great opportunity for students who are looking into the Student Affairs field or just looking to increase their leadership skills.
"Being an SRA has given me the opportunity to help teach and develop an RA staff from my prior experiences as an RA, but has also allowed me to learn, improve, and build on skills that I have obtained and will help me greatly after graduation." Matt Pratte
"Being an SRA is like being the tape at the end of a shoe lace. The RAs hold the shoe together and the SRA helps keep the lace from fraying! It is a pretty cool job and as awesome as the places the shoes see." Gilly Barbato
What are the Salary/Benefits
This 20 hour/week, non-benefits job currently runs from approximately August 13, 2009 - May 25, 2009 and includes:
- a furnished apartment for the contract period

SRAs gain valuable leadership and supervision skills that would be a great asset for heading out into the job market or continuing on to graduate school.
