90-Minute Recording of Video Online Seminar • Originally Broadcast June 25, 2008 • $99

Training resident assistants is essential, given the front-line work they do on behalf of your institution. You can help them do their jobs more effectively by giving them the tools and resources they'll need, and preparing them for situations they may encounter. If your RA training program needs to be updated - or doesn't exist at all - this seminar will give you ideas and tools you can implement in time for the upcoming semester.

This comprehensive program will show you how to help your RAs understand the current knowledge on campus threat assessment, applying student development theory to residence hall life, using support services effectively, marketing campus programs to hall residents, and working with "theme" housing and international students.

Brought to you by two experienced residence and student counseling administrators, this program includes a 90-minute video presentation and a set of detailed handouts that you'll use as a reference guide again and again. Together, you'll review how many existing RA training programs work and look at suggestions for best practices, including case studies and role-playing scenarios to use in your own training programs. The presenters will offer their suggestions for additional readings and provide links to web resources with helpful information on these topics.
