Tuesday Thoughts

In this Issue:

  • RA (Resident Adviser) applications open
  • Panhellenic (i.e., sorority) recruitment registration
  • Cybersecurity weekly email

We had our first test of the Wake Alert system this morning, and even though I had seen yesterday that it was coming, I forgot about it and was startled when the test alerts came out. Perhaps some of your Deacs were in the same boat.

Just a couple of quick hits today. Here goes.

RA (Resident Adviser) applications open

The Office of Residence Life and Housing sent a message to resident students to announce that Resident Adviser (RA) applications for the 2025-2026 academic year are now open.

There are many good reasons for students to consider being an RA. Probably the one that comes to mind first for them is that RAs receive a ten-month $5,700 stipend and a single room at a discounted rate. But beyond that, being an RA helps students build marketable skills that might help them land a job or internship; RAs “build leadership qualities that are highly marketable to employers. Management and delegation skills, critical thinking, problem-solving, and the ability to work effectively with a team are just some of the transferable skills you’ll gain for both your academic and professional career.”

If this sounds like something your Deac would be interested in, they can learn more and apply at the RA website.  

Panhellenic (i.e., sorority) recruitment registration

My colleagues in the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life asked me to share this message with families who have daughters interested in sorority recruitment:

“Hi Parents & Families,

Is your daughter planning to participate in Panhellenic recruitment? If so, please ensure she registers by November 10, 2024, at 11:59 p.m. Registration is completed through Campus Director, and students will need to submit the following:

The cost of registration is $120.

If you have any questions, feel free to sign up for one of our parent Q&A sessions:

Cybersecurity weekly email

Finally today, we are in Cybersecurity Awareness Month and today members of our campus community received this cybersecurity message.
