How can I apply to be an RA?

Rising sophomores and juniors with GPAs above 2.5 in a degree-granting program can apply to be Residential Advisers. Your application must include a letter of application that captures your academic interests, skills and relevant experience. You should also indicate your preferences for the college house and residential program, if applicable. In addition, submit two references — an academic reference and a professional or peer reference.
