RAs provide assistance

By Brooke Murdock
Dorm life at NSU is far from glamorous; however, the ancient buildings on this campus do have charm, and mostly because of the people who make the inside come to life. Most residents in the dorms know their residence assistant, and if they do not they will in due time. An RA’s job is to be like mom. They make sure stuff is in order and they lay on the discipline when needed. If something goes wrong it is also the RA’s duty to take care of it as soon as possible.
  “Once a situation happens, say the air-conditioning unit blows out, the residents report the problem to their RA who will then contact the housing office, and then housing will contact maintenance or whoever else is needed,” said Breeanna Perkins, resident  assistant.  
RAs are here for more than just reporting problems. They help put on programs for residents, which will help assist them with everyday problems. 
The RAs can also assist any RiverHawk with the set up of a bank account on campus. NSU is lucky to have the dedicated team on RAs, and these guys strive to make dorm life on this campus exceptional. 
“Housing strives to make a learning community for residents,” said Perkins.
