Eastern Student Jackson DeLaney of Southbury Named as Resident Assistant for Fall 2018 Semester

Eastern Connecticut State University recently named its resident assistants (RAs) for the fall 2018 semester. Among the RAs selected is Jackson DeLaney '21 of Southbury, CT. DeLaney's major is Political Science.
At Eastern Connecticut State University, RAs have the role of guiding and aiding students with on-campus residential living. They are carefully selected by staff in the Department of Housing and Residential Life through a process of information sessions and personal interviews. After being hired, they are trained to provide an environment that encourages success and positive student development.

The RA program gives students the opportunity to gain leadership and professional skills. Each RA is responsible for creating educational and entertaining recreational programs to involve students in their residence halls. The programs bring students together to meet other students and assist in providing an overall positive campus experience.

RAs also play a specific role in enhancing students' social, academic and residential life and function as role models on Eastern's campus.
