A resident assistant’s job responsibilities include managing safety and security of the community and serving a resource for students on campus, but the RAs also serve another important role in the community. They are role models and peer educators. As someone who is also navigating the college experience, they can provide you a helpful perspective as you settle into life on campus. RAs coordinate and support the residential curriculum by having conversations and hosting activities and events where you can gain skills in our four learning goals.
Keeping their role of peer educator at the forefront, see what some of our RAs commit to for their residents:
We are committed to furthering your educational pursuits both inside and outside of the classroom. For this reason, our residential curriculum was designed keeping in mind IUPUI’s Profiles of Learning for Undergraduate Success. The Profiles of Learning for Undergraduate Success prepare you to communicate, innovate, solve problems, and contribute to local and global communities.
In our work with our residential curriculum, the learning experiences we promote also support co-curricular activities on campus, the general education program, and even major- and minor-specific course work.
Personal Responsibility support’s the Profile’s focus on students being a Problem Solver.
Interpersonal Communication directly connects to the Profile’s focus on students being a Communicator.
Identity Development and Community Engagement build upon one another to support the Profile’s focus on students leaving IUPUI to become Community Contributors.
