Community Assistants
Community Assistants are paraprofessionals who live and work in the residence halls. They work with Community Living Coordinators and other staff in Community Living to develop programs and provide services to their fellow students. Each Community Assistant assumes responsibility for a designated area on campus called a "house". The Community Assistant typically lives on the same floor with those residents assigned to him/her. Community Assistants are carefully selected for their academic proficiency, involvement in co-curricular activities, concern for the welfare of fellow students and maturity to cope with the demands of their role. Furthermore, they are trained to be sensitive to the academic, emotional, and social problems of college students, particularly those associated with the normal adjustments to residence hall living.
Please note, that students that are selected to be Community Assistant can not be Connections Peer Facilitators or a part of Orientation Crew. This is due to scheduling conflicts for each position that would make the successful completion of Community Assistant duties impossible to complete.
