As a resident assistant, I upheld and am continuing to uphold University Housing’s mission of ensuring affordable, comfortable, secure housing on campus while promoting the academic success and personal growth of the residents. From crisis management to programming for the community, my responsibilities varied to be an enforcer of the policies but also to be a friend to all. I built quality relationships with each of my residents to establish an authentic community among the diverse population. Whether it was simply helping

I had to understand the circumstances in which people were in and how interact with residents respectfully and compassionately which provided opportunities for personal growth by practicing integrity, justice and good stewardship. Though I was a bit hesitant, my experience has been very positive. Just being a volunteer without any related experience or skills, I was unqualified to help and many ways. The few menial tasks that I was able to do seemed to be met with much enthusiasm and appreciation. Simply helping someone to their seat bringing them a cup of tea or

June reflected a drop in price for both companies, resulting from the Government funding changes to the Dementia Supplement with August realising an increase in price for REG after the announcement of the Supreme Court decision to uphold REG’s objection to a notice of assessment of stamp duty by the State Revenue Office (SRO) reducing their unpaid debt to SRO by A$19 million, whereas in contrast JHC realised a drop in price as a result of significant changes in substantial share

At my graduate assistantship at The College of New Jersey (TCNJ), the graduate students from Monmouth were introduced to a few of the key offices that work with Residential Education and Housing. Through this introduction, I was able to meet Kelly Hennessy, who is the current Associate Dean of Students in the Department of Health and Wellness at The College of New Jersey. As a future Student Affairs professional, one of my end goals would ultimately become a Dean of Students, so it was exciting to interview Hennessy and see how she got to where she is today. Originally when Hennessy first started her college years, she thought that she wanted to be a teacher. After working with the professionals in her Residence Life Office and Leadership Office at the University of Buffalo, where she received both her bachelors and master’s degrees, she realized that her passion was no longer teaching, but rather to become the professionals she was surrounded and inspired by every day. Hennessy has worked in Residence Life for majority of her career up to about two years ago when the Department of Health and Wellness first started on TCNJ’s campus.

My interest in a Resident Assistant position comes from my desire to help. I was born with a very strong sense of empathy and if I see that a person is struggling I do all that I can do to alleviate them. Whether it is a person with a learning disability who struggled in class to the “weirdo” in high school who just wanted a friend, I’ve been there for them. Nothing is more painful to me than seeing a person being mistreated, under respected or neglected and I do all I can to protect people from this. My goal is to make every person feel as if they have someone on their side, someone

I am aware of issues related to the limitations of the role and the environment, I have to complete specific tasks and need to make sure I fulfil my requirements to complete the tasks that I have to complete, but often residents want to spend time with me talking as they see me every morning and I am a constant in their life, I have to also make time to spend time with them, as well as completing my work.

I am applying to be an RA because I enjoy being a role model and a positive influence on others. I have been in positions before in which I was in charge of multiple people around my age, and I really enjoyed those experiences. I believe that an effective RA has strong leadership, communication, disciplinary, and charismatic skills. An RA is in charge of around twenty other students, it is important that they must be their residents’ friend and a big brother/sister to the residents and by having those skills the residents should feel as if the RA is a big brother/sister. In my opinion, the most important skill is communication. If a resident is struggling with a class, a resident is homesick, or just has any personal problems the RA is probably one of the first people they talk to. Communicating to their residents in those times can mean the world to them; just a simple conversation can help improve a person.

1. I’ve known several people who have worked as Conference Housing Assistants, and they’ve all said great things about it. Firstly, reading the job description, I see that interpersonal communication and organization are two of the biggest skills needed for this position of which I pride myself over. I want to be able to tie my qualifications and skills to the school that I attend so that I can assist others as well as represent Stony Brook. I know many former Orientation Leaders, Conference Housing Assistants, and Residential Assistants who have said it’s a rewarding position because you get to assist and meet new people.

Since, arriving at Rowan University I became at-home with Rowan’s diversity and efforts to make an impact on not only its students, but the local residents living in Glassboro too. Early in the Fall semester, I tried-out for the school’s Rugby and Ultimate Frisbee athletic teams, and ran for the Student Government position of Freshmen class Senator. I was trying to find my niche at Rowan and I found it when I joined the Pre-Med, Medlife and Pre-health society clubs. In addition, I ran for another student government position, Senator At-Large. I was elected into student government on November 7th and since then, I have felt like an active member in Rowan’s community. I first learned that Residential Learning and University Housing was looking for students to fill new Residential Assistants positions in a Senate meeting. Additionally, I’m very keen in becoming a Residential Assistant.

I want to be a resident advisor for many reasons. Some of these reasons include the inclination to help new students become familiar, comfortable, and happy in their new living environments. I have many qualities that make me suitable for a resident advisor position. I also understand the importance that programming and leadership has when living with new students.

In an effort to maintain my sanity and high level of achievement, balance is necessary. It is pertinent that I display equal time to my academics, my residents, and personal life. This would be a particularly difficult because I am very detailed oriented and meticulous and it can become extremely time consuming especially, when it comes to planning events. I know that I have to balance out these things in order to be a well-rounded student. In order to accomplish this challenge I must learn to depend on other RAs and RDs and work as a comprehensive team to accomplish this endeavor. If given this opportunity I look forward to utilizing my past experiences in order to make an impactful change in my residents’ college

I understand how significant it is having a support system because I can easily testify to the numerous individuals who have redirected my path to become who I am today, which I am proud of. If I am selected to be a Resident Advisor at UNC Charlotte, I aspire to become that hand that will pull you up from your darkest hours. I aspire to become known as that individual who is always willing to discuss the struggles, positives or anything you may need. Becoming a Resident Advisor would mean making a difference and as I stated in the preceding questions, I strive for development, influence and impact. Currently, I have experience representing the student body, more specifically the freshman class, with participation in the Student Government Association
