Resident Assistants
As the College's representative in housing, the Resident Assistant (RA) assumes many roles. The RA's responsibilities largely center on establishing and maintaining a welcoming and inclusive residential atmosphere that is conducive to residents’ overall education and development. This involves assisting students on both an individual and group basis.
The Resident Assistant job can be described in six areas:
- General RA Skills: The RA provides leadership, initiative and support to students. RAs are expected to actively demonstrate positive personal, academic, and job-related behaviors;
- Helping Skills: The RA is expected to be available to discuss student concerns and problems, both individually and in groups. The RA also initiates referrals to various specialized services available on campus and in the community;
- Community Development: The RA provides leadership and support for educational and social activities on campus. RAs promote an inclusive and sustainable atmosphere where students are able to grow both academically and personally;
- Accountability Processes: The RA is expected to actively promote and support policies outlined in the Marlboro College Community Constitution and Bylaws, Student Handbook, Housing Contract, and state and federal laws. This necessitates that the RA be thoroughly familiar with the policies and procedures for mediating disputes and reporting incidents;
- Preparation and Planning: RAs are responsible for establishing housing charters, as well as preparing and maintaining their residences. RAs must complete all required paperwork in a timely and accurate manner; stay in touch with the team electronically and in person; and
- Teambuilding: RAs must be able to work with other staff members in a professional manner. They should also be able to provide leadership in their residences/ areas with enthusiasm and a welcoming and inclusive spirit.
