The Office of Residence Life
is now accepting applications for
the 66 available Resident Assistant
(RA) positions for next semester.
The role of an RA is integral
in the daily happenings in
the Residence Halls at Xavier
University and, as high volumes
of applications in past years
have shown, it is a very coveted
position.
The compensation for the RA
position includes a single room, a
board plan and a $900 leadership
grant for the year.
Associate Director of
Residence Life Angie Kneflin sees
the RA position as an ideal opportunity
for students.
“If you are interested in helping
others, making an impact on
your fellow students and being
part of a team, this is a perfect
opening for you,” Kneflin said.
There is an Information
Session for those interested in
applying for the RA position at 9
p.m. today in the first floor lounge
in Kuhlman Hall. The next stage in the process
is applying for the position.
All applications are due on Jan.
20 by 5 p.m. and should include
three letters of recommendation
(preferably from somebody from
Residence Life; a present RA, Hall
Director etc.).
After reviewing the applications,
Residence Life will select
several candidates who will move
forward to the individual interviews,
scheduled to take place between
Jan. 23 and Feb. 6.
The final hurdle of the interviews
will take place in Cintas
Center on Feb. 12 and from there,
Residence Life will choose the
66 RA’s for the academic year of
2012-13.
All students should seriously
consider the position of an RA,
according to Angie Kneflin.
“The experiences of leadership,
conflict mediation, diversity
and inclusion, conduct enforcement
and documentation and
communication provide RA’s with
the skills to succeed in life after
Xavier,” Kneflin said.
Applications for the RA positions,
as well as a video of the testimonies from
current RA’s are available at www.
xavier.edu/residence-life. The applications
should be submitted to the office of
Residence Life (located in the Musketeer
Mezzanine in Fenwick Place) before 5
p.m. on Jan. 20.
