(Available for students through the Public Safety Desk/RA on Duty in the residence hall).

RAs are trained to engage with their residents about various topics relating to academics, study habits, grades, to going out, socializing, and wellness. This is a tool we use and have found extremely helpful in making sure that every resident receives interaction with someone in our department.
