    Resident Assistant (RA) Position Information

    Resident Assistants are trained student leaders who have the responsibility of supervising students living in a residence hall while having the opportunity to demonstrate the values of UNG within the campus setting.

    RAs are the most direct liaisons between UNG’s administration and its residential student body. RAs spend significant time undergoing training in crisis management, student advocacy, programming, time-management, and peer counseling. Because of the skills developed through these positions, RAs are often prepared to make successful transitions from the college environment to the job market demonstrating strong leadership training, management skills, and community involvement as part of their collegiate experience.

    Take Note!

    The 2023-2024 Resident Assistant Application will become active on November 2, 2022.

    Please complete the 2023-2024 New RA Candidate Reference Form. Forms are due no later than 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday, February 1, 2023. At least one reference MUST be provided by a UNG Faculty/Staff member. Current Residence Life staff members may not be used as references.
