Resident Assistant Application/Selection Process

Thank you for showing interest in serving as a Resident Assistant (RA) for Thiel College.  The Resident Assistant position is a very demanding, yet rewarding opportunity for our students to serve the college community.  This position is extremely valuable to the other residents living within our buildings and the faculty and staff working with your peers.  It takes a very commited and dedicated leader to serve in this capacity.

The application/selection process is a three phase experience.  In order to participate in the application/selection process all interested students should print off the application and reference forms from the links found at the bottom of this page.  Each candidate must complete and submit a written application along with a faculty, staff, and RA reference.  All applications should be turned into Roberta Mutinelli in the Office of Student Life.

During phase one the applicant will participate in a group interview with other candidates.  During this interview the candidates will be asked several questions related to the RA position and participate in a few group exercises. To sign up for a group interview please just stop in the Office of Student Life.

Phase two consists of a three separate classes including and explanation and training on the Resident Assistant's duties and expectations.  The classes will be held for three consecutive weeks.  We will hold two classes a week.  One class will take place on Wednesdays at 9:00pm, and the other class for that week will take place the following Sunday at 8:00pm. 

Finally, phase three consists of the individual interview.  During the three week time period that the class sessions will take place, each candidate will schedule an individual interview with Roberta Mutinelli, Director of Residence Life.  The individual interview will include one candidate and multiple staff members.
