Begin the Tradition:

Welcome future RAs and HRs!
Thank you for your interest in exploring one of Vanderbilt’s greatest and most prestigious leadership traditions: the Resident Adviser or Head Resident positions. Of our 6,000+ students on campus from all 50 states and more than 50 different countries from around the world, they all have one thing in common…they all have an RA.
We invite you to learn about all that this position has to offer both personally and professionally by checking out the job descriptions listed on this website. If you are interested in learning more about this position or if you have any questions, have a conversation with an RA you know. This can be a friend, classmate, or RA on your floor.  We also would like to invite you to one of our Interest Sessions held at various campus locations. Keep an eye open for these in Fall of 2008!
