Residence Life employs a number of students as Resident Assistants. RAs must work with students in a community living environment and assist them with their personal and academic needs and concerns. Because of this, we are looking for mature, responsible, dedicated and flexible individuals who have a genuine interest in working with others. These students must be able to balance the added responsibilities of the RA position with their academic course requirements and any other co-curricular commitments. RA job responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

* Facilitating community development and individual students' growth and personal well being
* Helping new students adjust to Dana College
* Encouraging student input and participation in residence hall and college programs
* Supporting student leaders and government within the residence halls
* Educating students about the college and residence hall procedures, policies, and regulations and enforcing those policies
* Intervening in crisis and conflict situations

If you have any questions, please contact Matthew C. Thielen, Dean of Students, 402-426-7253.
