Want to be an RA?



Whether you're mildly curious or you stand convinced that being an RA is your calling, you should definitely plan to attend one of H2W's RA interest sessions this week. Times and locations are as follows:


Thursday, December 4th 8 PM
Haven Main Lounge

Friday, December 5th 4 PM

Washington Arms Lounge


While these sessions are crucial if you plan on going through the application process this spring, these sessions do not commit you to applying.
If you have any questions or you're unable to attend both of these sessions and wish to get a list for other buildings' info sessions, please email Bill the RD at wmwalsh@syr.edu
