Resident Assistants
Each floor of students (between 14 and 40 resident students) has a Resident Assistant (RA) who lives in a central location on the floor. RAs at Eastern are concerned with each individual's adjustment to and success in college. They are supportive, mature students who are trained in para-professional counseling skills, crisis intervention, and community building.
When campus expectations are not met or policies are violated, the RA will often be the first person to confront the student. However, the primary goal of the RA is to establish a harmonious living situation on the floor that fits the goals and expectations of the University.
