So you want to be an RA: The Scoop on Acing your RA Application/Interview and Reflection on 2022 RA Interviews
It’s no secret that being an RA has a lot of perks: the single room, room and board, and a stipend for returning RA’s. It’s an attractive position with a lot of responsibility to manage conflict and build bonds within your residence. Once you have examined the requirements and responsibilities of an RA at LC and decided you want to take up that responsibility, you might find yourself wondering where to even begin the application process. Well, you’re in luck because in this article we are going to tell you how to do just that (according to 2022 RA application information). We will also hear from an interview from the 2022 Selection Committee made of Area Directors Juliane Corpus (she/her); Julia Pacheco-Cole (she/her); and Adam Hintze (he/him).
