As Resident Advisors (RAs), we know the best way to promote success for our peers is by modeling the way. Through our Residential Curriculum, RAs take on a number of key roles in supporting our students. From advocating for inclusive communities to providing a thriving academic environment within our halls, our RAs are empowered to serve their residents.
Qualifications
This is a significant responsibility. Therefore our new RAs must meet the following qualifications not only to care for others but also thrive themselves.
- Be a current full-time student at Muhlenberg College.
- Be at least 18 years old by the start of employment as an RA.
- Must have sophomore student status by position start date.
- Engage in selection and recruitment processes while demonstrating a sense of care for others.
- Maintain a 2.5 GPA and cumulative GPA.
- Our RAs must model behavior in line with our student conduct policy by being in good disciplinary standing with the College.
- RAs cannot commit to more than 10 hours of outside commitments per week. These are research assistantships, internships, extracurricular involvement, practicum experiences, paid employment, etc. This rule ensures we can support our RA work-life balance and time management in their role.
- RAs must fully participate in training when those dates are finalized unless otherwise excused.
The 2026-2027 Application Process will be launched on Berg Connect in November 2025
