RESIDENT ADVISOR POSITION: Academic Year 2024-2025
What is a Resident Advisor?
Resident Advisors (RAs) are CSUF student leaders who live on-campus while serving in the role. Resident Advisors are responsible for ensuring Housing and Residential Engagement’s community development and relationship building by means of student development, training and development, and administrative/operational tasks. Resident Advisors develop individual relationships with each resident (typically 40-50) focused on learning about them, connecting them to resources, and helping them grow. In addition to resident relationships, a core responsibility of this position will be to serve in the student staff on-call duty rotation to ensure the safety and security of the HRE community.
Contract Dates/Time Commitment
- Late July 2024 – Late May 2025
- Resident Advisors are expected to participate in a fall and winter training prior to the beginning of both the fall and spring semesters. All training sessions are mandatory.

A reasonable schedule would include a combination of patterns of time including scheduled commitments (i.e. meetings, advising students, etc.) and unscheduled commitments (being available to residents at varying intervals during the day and night). RAs accept the foregoing as a reasonable attempt to define a position that is not easily translated into an hourly basis or reduced to specific duties without gross oversimplification of the nature of the primary position. RAs further recognize the full opportunity to discuss serious deviations from the above with the Community Coordinator and/or the Director, Housing and Residential Engagement.
