2012 Mar 13

Jameil Johnson '13 from Bridgeport, is a resident assistant (RA) in Nutmeg Hall at Eastern Connecticut State University this spring. Johnson is majoring in Communication.

RAs at Eastern are carefully selected and trained to help dormitory residents create an environment that is conducive to individual and social growth. Each RA creates recreational, educational and community service programming to involve students in the residence hall community and the community at large. RAs also assist individual students in their social and personal development.

More than 60 percent of all Eastern undergraduate students live on campus. The peer support of resident assistants in bridging a student's academic, residential and social life on campus is a critical element of Eastern's liberal arts environment. Small classes, 70 student clubs and a vibrant cultural calendar contribute to the overall campus experience found at Eastern.

Focusing on undergraduate education as Connecticut's only public liberal arts university, the University combines a strong liberal arts curriculum with experiential learning opportunities - internships, student research and community service - to prepare graduates for successful careers in a variety of professional fields.
