Resident Advisors (RAs) and Community Advisors (CAs) are students, taking full academic course loads, who are selected and trained to help create an atmosphere conducive to growth and development. They serve as group facilitators, referral agents, and activity advisors. They also assist students with personal, academic, and social concerns. Resident/Community Advisors are available to help students adjust to life in on-campus housing and at the University. Every floor, tower, or other living group has an assigned RA/CA, but residents are free to seek aid or counsel from any RA/CA in the living communities.
