University of the PACIFIC

Resident Assistants (RAs) are part-time student staff members of the Housing and Greek Life Office and members of the University of the Pacific. For students, life on campus is about having fun and meeting new friends, while being in an atmosphere that is safe and conducive to learning. It is important that our residence halls and apartments foster communities that enhance students' experiences and meet the expectations we have for their academic success at the university. Resident Assistants have a critical role in creating these communities in our residence halls and apartments, and are instrumental in the success of the students they serve by helping them integrate, navigate and learn from their experiences inside and outside of the classroom. RAs facilitate interpersonal relationships and create living situations that maximize opportunities for them and their peers to learn and grow. RA's BUILD COMMUNITY!
