Resident assistants (RAs) help create a community that encourages and supports intellectual curiosity, rigorous thinking, and a joy for learning. RAs ensure the physical and emotional safety of students, and develop a fun, dynamic, and engaging activities program. The RA informs students of CTY rules and expectations and supervises students to ensure that these guidelines are followed. RA commitments also include attendance at daily meetings and work on committees to plan all-site weekend events. RAs’ working hours are primarily the hours students are not in class.
