Core values

• Know and Care for Residents
  Knowing residents is critical to community assistant success. Promoting ongoing interaction and cooperation is essential to resident satisfaction. Community assistants will act as a resource and referral agent for all residents.
• Build Community
  The total value of a college education can only be realized when a resident involves him/herself in many aspects of the collegial experience (e.g. leadership activities, volunteering, student government). Community assistants raise resident’s level of awareness of what is available to them at the community and how to participate. They maintain a high profile on the property and be approachable and receptive. CAs create enthusiasm and interest in educational and social programming.
• Share Knowledge
  Community assistants are knowledgeable about community policies and university resources. They play a vital role in directing residents to the appropriate community staff members, provide accurate information about the community to residents, and are informed and familiar with important services on campus.
• Promote Learning
  Community Assistants foster personal responsibility through supporting community policies. Resident learning is enhanced through the staff’s programming efforts, CA's interaction with residents, and by supporting personal accountability.
• Lead by Example
  Community Assistants are held to high standards of academic achievement and behavior and as a result are considered community leaders and set the example for conduct and attitude. CA's will observe all community and University policies, rules, and regulations.
• Embrace Diversity
  An important aspect of promoting learning is demonstrating an appreciation for cultural differences and opposing intolerance and bigotry concerning these differences. Community assistants are committed to assuring fairness for all residents within the community.

Other details

Second jobs are discouraged and only allowed with the permission of the director. If a second job is permitted, then the job as a community assistant position must come first under all circumstances.
