RAs at ÆÞÓÑÉçÇø Excited to Meet New Residents

Written By: Ian Silvester

Students will soon be moving into their on-campus housing at the University of Arkansas – Fort Smith. Whether it’s in the Lion’s Den dorms or Sebastian Commons Apartments, students will meet the resident assistant, or RA, assigned to their floor.

RAs, under the guidance of resident directors Joe England, Lion’s Den, and Johnny Resendiz, Sebastian Commons, are available to help students transition to living away from home. From serving as a resource for campus information to hosting floor events throughout the year, RAs are there to make living on campus, as a first-year student in Lion’s Den North or South, and as an upper-class, non-traditional, or married student in Sebastian Commons, a safe and thriving community.
