The LLC Resident Assistant (RA) plays a key role in creating a connected, purposeful community experience for LLC students. You’ll help foster an environment where residents not only live together but also grow and succeed together.
As an LLC RA, you’ll take on the core responsibilities of a traditional RA, but with added opportunities to support themed academic communities and connect directly with faculty and campus partners.
Responsibilities
- Collaborate with the LLC Peer Mentor/Community Navigator to plan and lead themed programs (2 per month)
- Join LLC field trips and special experiences at no extra cost, just extra fun! (1-2 times per year)
- Encourage academic success by starting and supporting study groups as needed
- Collaborate with the LLC peer mentor on conversations you have with students for Scarlet Chats and LLC surveys
- Attend monthly LLC meeting occurring Fridays, 3:30pm-5:30pm
- Dedicate around 6-7 hours per month to LLC-specific responsibilities, many of which overlap with regular RA role (includes follow-up on Scarlet Chats and attending supervisor meetings).
Benefits
- Direct engagement with faculty and campus partners
- Additional programming funds to bring your community’s ideas to life
- Early notification of RA placement
- Paid position/additional compensation
Training & Support
You’ll receive additional August training designed to help you understand how LLCs enhance student success and engagement, meet faculty and campus partners connected to your LLC, and help prepare you to lead the LLC Social and LLC Student Orientation in August/September.
