Make a meaningful impact on campus and gain valuable professional experience

If your student is looking to build leadership skills, make a meaningful impact on campus, and gain valuable professional experience, University Housing offers an exciting opportunity. Resident assistants (RAs) and residential belonging assistants play a vital role in creating a welcoming and supportive environment in UGA’s residence halls. They serve as mentors, community builders, and resources for fellow students. 

The application process is designed to help students reflect on their strengths and readiness for the role. Applicants are expected to attend at least one information session to learn more about the position and its responsibilities. The site outlines key dates, eligibility requirements, and tips for preparing a strong application. It also highlights the benefits of being an RA, including leadership development, networking opportunities, and financial compensation. 

Whether your student is passionate about helping others, interested in student affairs, or simply looking for a way to get more involved on campus, the RA role is a great way to grow personally and professionally. Encourage them to explore the UGA Student Staff site and consider applying!
