I will be an incoming freshman for the next school year. I was wondering if there is anything I could do to become a RA?-Brittney?

Brittney, good question! You will be able to apply in December/January of your freshman year to be an RA your Sophomore year. In January you will go through an interview process called Carousel where you interview with folks from our department through different activities. We have lots of positions in Residence Life for which you might be interested. Also keep your eyes peeled for Residential Programming Assistant (RPA) and Residence Hall Association (RHA) Executive Board positions. Once you get here, I would recommend getting involved in your Hall Council. You'll learn how to plan programs, work with a team, and start to meet some of our professional hall staff - all things that are important when applying for an RA position. From there the possibilities are endless with getting involved in housing! Next fall Missouri State's RHA will also be hosting a regional student leadership conference called MACURH. This will be a huge undertaking, but will be a REALLY rewarding experience in which to participate. Get involved when you get here to get you feet wet and see what interests you the most, there really is so many opportunities! We'll have publicity around your residence hall explaining these. We look forward to seeing you in the fall!
