Has everyone met RA Sarah in Esopus Hall? She is a Communication Disorders major with a double minor in Spanish and Deaf Studies and has some great things to say about #npreslife : "I was motivated to apply for the RA position because I am always looking to expand and strengthen my leadership skills while helping others and acting as a resource for my residents as well as my staff. I am grateful that I have been able to learn so much about myself and others, through my staff and residents, and participate in opportunities with people that I might have not gotten the chance to otherwise."

Our future grad today is RA Rami of @blisshallnp! He is graduating with a degree in Psychology with conc. Industrial/Organizational. After graduation, Rami is taking a job with the local Skytop Strategies, as Director of Human Resources and Team Development. "One of the many things that I will miss as a New Paltz RA is the close bonding that I experienced working with fellow RAs, and my residents. I have made many valuable memories with my residents that I will always remember and look back on with pure enjoyment. I will miss walking down the hallway and seeing 26 great people every day. I will miss keeping my door open for anyone to stop by and say hello. I have learned so much from the conversations I have had with my residents, and I am so grateful for having the short experience as a RA. I loved every second of it and I have no regret accepting the position." #npreslife #futurealum

Our #inspiRAtion today is Bevier's RA Jenisse! She is a double major in Journalism and Spanish. There is also a ridiculous level of involvement on her resume including WNPC-TV's manager, serving as both reporter and producer at WNPC-TV, working as a T. Howard Campus Ambassador, writing for HerCampus.com, interning at Viacom, and becoming an honorable member of Chi Alpha Epsilon. (phew!) We've recognized Jenisse because she is a hardworking and inspirational young female who aspires for nothing but greatness. She continues to involve herself in experiences that will have a positive impact on her future. Jenisse is always looking into new opportunities to embark on, while staying invested in her current projects. #npreslife #futurealum

We love this 30 Days of Happy board from Bouton Hall but we don't know who made it! Anyone want to help us give a shout out to its RA? #npreslife #whodoneit #reslife #RAlife

Your Alumni Spotlight today is Glenda, who was an RA in Capen from 2013-2015! She graduated with a degree in Marketing and you might have seen her around campus- she is following up with an MBA. "My biggest piece of advice is to graduating RAs is to never undermine the leadership and interpersonal capabilities developed on the job. A lot of people believe that being an RA does not seem like a lot of work, but we know the vast amount of responsibility it entails. So, during job interviews speak to all that you learned as an RA and how you changed as an individual." #npreslife #npalumni

Our Future Graduate today is College/Shango's RA Sam! Sam was also an RA in Crispell and previously an RM for the Chinese LLC. Currently majoring in Asian Studies and Psychology Major with a Disaster Studies minor, Sam hopes to return to Japan to teach English. We wish her the best of luck! #npreslife #grad #futureNPalum

Finding out you got the #RA position will be one of the most memorable moments of your college career. (Anyone else #cry?) A huge welcome to all of our new RAs and congrats on making it through the process! We can't wait to see your dedication pay off! #npreslife #werk
