Information for this coming soon!
Each applicant is required to complete a shadow round in both types of Residence Hall; Community or Suite Style. Buildings will be announced soon.
The purpose of these shadows is for all the applicants to see what a typical duty night is looking like. From walking the halls to checking safety and security, the applicant will see how things run in the halls at night. This also gives the applicants a chance to see the different building styles and to interact with current RAs to learn more aspects of the job.
