Getting Involved in the Residence Halls
The Office of Residence Life & Student Conduct offers a variety of leadership and student employment opportunities for students to get involved on-campus, grow their leadership skills, and build community. Student leadership and involvement contributes to a strong positive residential community.
Resident Assistants (RAs) are undergraduate live-in student leaders that are responsible for promoting a strong, inclusive community and facilitating various programming and community building initiatives. RAs play an integral role in establishing a community that is conducive to maximizing academic, personal and social development, and maintaining a healthy and safe living environment.
RAs report directly to graduate and full-time Resident Directors. RA Hiring and Selection for the upcoming academic year begins during the Spring semester and students should be on the lookout during the Fall semester for more information regarding the application and interview process.
Desk Attendants (DAs) serves as a primary resource and customer service representative for a particular residence hall at Anna Maria College. Desk Attendants are available to assist residential students and their guests. This position serves as an additional support to Resident Assistants and the Resident Directors serving on duty.
DA Hiring and Selection occurs during the Summer and the first few weeks of the Fall semester to allow first-year students an opportunity for on-campus employment.
The Residence Hall Association is a resident-led organization on-campus that helps to promote community and advocacy for the residential community. The Residence Hall Association has a budget through the Student Government Association for various initiatives, on-campus events, and more! During the first few weeks of the semester, be on the lookout for emails and flyers on how to get involved! You can also reach out to our office at reslife@annamaria.edu for more information.
