Residence
Hall Staff Wartburg’s residence halls are divided into floors of 18-38 students with a RA residing on each floor. An RA can be an invaluable resource to a new student as a contact person for problem solving, a guide to campus resources, and a leader in the floor community. RAs are returning students who have been carefully selected and trained to assist the students on the floor. RAs enforce policies and take appropriate action in emergency situations to maintain a safe and educational environment for floor residents. |
