Objective

As a Resident Advisor, I plan to be a conduit for students to reach the different resources of the campus relevant to each student as an individual. Through personal interaction I hope to develop a level of respect in efforts of earning the authority that inherently accompanies the role of Resident Advisor. I plan to uphold the university policies which will ensure the safety and productivity of all of my students.
