CA Position Summary

The CA position is often referred to as one of the most challenging and rewarding leadership roles an undergraduate can pursue.

The CA is a leader within the community and as such is expected to actively build relationships with other students, serving as a mentor, resource referral, and role-model to others. All CA’s are required to live in the residence halls during the duration of their position.

University Housing believes our CA’s are the most important members of our team. This is the flagship student paraprofessional position on our team. Their role is critical in providing services and support to students in our residence halls and representing both the needs of students and university administration.
