Residence Life

You know who they are, you know where they iive, but do you really know how much

work goes into being a Resident Assistant? The fifty RA's living on campus are always on

duty, as they work around the clock with their rooms serving as their offices. It is their job

to set-up resident programs, help residents with day to day problems, and serve as a source

of general USD knowledge. Their work does not stop there though. It is a job with night

shifts, weekend hours, and endless meetings, but despite it all, USD has a large number of

veteran RA's. In order to get everything accomplished, the Residence Life staff works as a

team. The RA's on campus work in combination w ith the five Resident Directors and the

office of Housing and Resident Life in order to ensure that students are making the transition

to campus life and are enjoying where they live.
