Apply to be a Resident Assistant (RA)

The Office of Residence Life is accepting Resident Assistant Applications for the 2026–2027 school year. RA’s must be leaders, role models, and resources for their residents; however, just as important, they must be team players that work with and support other staff in their own hall as well as other halls on campus.

The application can be found at: https://drake.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_5pXxVd9fMFxpwGO

The application deadline is Tuesday, Jan. 13, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. (during J-Term).

There are two RA Informational sessions:

  • Saturday, Nov. 15, 2025, 6 p.m., CR 310, upper Olmsted
  • Friday, Dec. 5, 2025, 6 p.m., Pomerantz Stage, Olmsted (first floor by the bookstore)

For questions regarding the application or interview process, contact Randy E. McMullin, associate director of residence life, at randy.mcmullin@drake.edu. Consider reaching out to your own RA or another RA should you have questions about the position from a student perspective.
