Meet the UAFS RAs

Written By: Ian Silvester

As students moved into their on-campus housing at the University of Arkansas - Fort Smith, they were greeted by a soon-to-be familiar face. Each floor of the Lion's Den dorms and Sebastian Commons Apartments have a resident assistant, or RA, assigned to help students throughout the year. RAs serve as resources for campus information, they plan floor events, and more.

Whether a student is a first-year living in Lion's Den North or South or is an upper-class, non-traditional, or married student in Sebastian Commons, every RA is there to develop a sense of community and a safe place to call home.
