What is the dress code for training? The dress code for RA training is relaxed and includes jeans and sneakers with appropriate shirts.
Do I have weekends free? RAs will have August 23/24 free. Please be aware that halls are open for summer residents during the weekend of August
30/31 and RAs will be staffing the halls. During training your RD will inform you of your weekend time commitments.
What should I expect from training? RA training will prepare you to be an excellent Resident Assistant and resource for your residents. You will learn a lot of
information about the department and your position. You will also meet a lot of new people, bond with your staff and
have fun! Training days will vary but you can expect classroom sessions, group activities, meals and fun activities.
Who do I contact if I have a conflict with training? RAs are required to attend all training sessions. Please contact Debbie ([email protected]) with any concerns.
