RAs Share Their Experiences

"Working as a Resident Assistant has been an extremely rewarding experience! It has allowed me to work with amazing people who are passionate about issues of social justice and diversity. Together, we are working to achieve change at Georgetown and beyond. I could not have asked for a better way to end my Georgetown experience! My staff is amazing, my residents are great, and Residence Life is very supportive. I also got to expand my skills for life." Hammad Hammad, McCarthy Hall

"As a Resident Assistant, I have honed my ability to design programming for my residents.  I am involved in problem solving for my residents and in constant communication with them to discover their needs.  I love that ResLife has given me the ability to become a positive part of my residents' lives.  I remember during our "Henle Haunted Village" Halloween event, residents came out of their apartments to help us transform Henle.  We had so much fun.  I use my RA skills to organize school work, and I will definitely bring the skills I have gained as an RA to life beyond Georgetown." Arun X . Koottappillil, Henle Village

"Being an RA has been a wonderful and dynamic growth experience for me. I have been able to learn much about myself, as well as lots of practical skills. Plus, I've had the opportunity to meet some great individuals along the way." Shamisa Zvoma, Harbin Hall

"As an international student, I used to have a doubt whether I can be truly a part of Georgetown and its student body. Through RA experience, this suspicion was proven absolutely wrong. My residents not only thanked me for trying to help and advocate for them, but also became my friends and allies whenever I need help. This mutual support, which people here often struggle to find in other aspects of college life, is what I think most empowering and inspirational about this job." Jinsun Bae, Kennedy Hall
