RA Selection Process Overview and Timeline
Due to a University-wide system shut-down yesterday, many applicants were not able to submit their application. We have since updated deadlines to allow for later submission and scheduling. If you emailed Alauna Peterson any of your materials, you will still need to manually upload your documents. We are sorry for any inconvenience.
The selection process has been designed to help you learn as much as possible about the RA position so that you can make an informed decision about becoming an RA in the event that you are offered a position. The process itself consists of several phases:
Early December through Mid-January
While not mandatory, these sessions provide an excellent orientation to the RA position and the selection process.
*UPDATED* Due January 25, 2008
The online application will ask you to respond to several demographic questions and to upload a Word document that contains both your cover letter and resume.
*UPDATED* January 14-28, 2008
You will need to schedule a 30-minute initial interest interview with a Housefellow to discuss your initial interest in the RA position.
February 1-2, 2008
During this weekend, you will participate in a group interview with 5-7 other candidates to explore more about the RA position in one of our four house-types.
February 7-13, 2008
During this period, you will be invited to participate in one or more individual interviews with a Housefellow and Community Advisor from a specific house community.
Decision letters (including placement for those offered an RA position) will be made available beginning at Noon on February 20, 2008 in the Student Development Office in Morewood Gardens. Those offered a position will be asked to accept or decline it by February 27, 2008.
