Resident Assistants and Peer Mentors
Resident Assistants (RAs) and Peer Mentors are integral to the Reslife program at the University of Bridgeport. They play a vital role in creating a supportive and inclusive living environment, assisting residents with various needs, and fostering a sense of community within the residence halls.
Building a Supportive Community
RAs are carefully selected students who live within the residence halls and serve as resources and role models for their fellow residents. They are trained to address residents’ concerns, provide guidance, and create a safe and welcoming atmosphere. RAs organize floor meetings, social events, and educational programs to promote community building and ensure that residents feel supported throughout their college journey.
Assistance and Guidance
Peer Mentors, on the other hand, are experienced upperclassmen who provide academic guidance and support to their peers. They assist residents in navigating the academic landscape, offering advice on course selection, study strategies, and time management. Peer Mentors are a valuable resource for new students, helping them transition smoothly into college life and succeed academically.
