UAA Summer Resident Advisor

 

University of Alaska System

 

Are you a current or former live-in student staff member interested in being a mentor and leader this summer? Are you looking for meaningful work that gives you the opportunity to continue making a difference in your community?

 

Summer Resident Advisors (RAs) work to ensure that each resident feels safe and at home. This is done in several ways. First, by participating in on-call coverage, emergency response support and encouraging communication among roommates amid conflicts. Next, RAs help to achieve a sense of community through creative and interactive means, including engaging with residents through unique programming experiences, facilitating interaction and idea sharing, assisting with residential tours, assisting with Welcome Home Weeks planning, and infusing academic support and educational opportunities into the on-campus living experience.

 

Successful candidates will need prior Resident Advisor or Summer Resident Advisor experience and training, experience addressing roommate conflicts, and the ability to speak up when the rules are broken and safety concerns arise. Summer RAs also educate residents on Regents' Policy and University Regulation, the Student Code of Conduct, the Community Living Standards and the Alcohol and Drug policies, and, they need to be able to confront and report violations of these policies by submitting information reports and notifying professional staff members according to departmental standards. Summer Resident Advisors also serve as Campus Security Authorities in compliance with federal law, specifically the Clery Act, and serve as a Responsible Employee as designated in Regents' Policy and University Regulation and in compliance with federal law, specifically Title IX.

 

For your on-call and community-development efforts, you'll receive summer housing at no cost in an apartment with a full kitchen, as well as an hourly wage for approximately 12 hours per week.
