Resident Assistant (RA) Kendra Siebert, right, talks with a resident. RAs meet with their students twice a term to discuss their academic and social progress. They also uses this time to check in on their residents’ mental health. Siebert said, “One on ones are my favorite part of the job because they help me figure out what my residents need so that they can keep thriving at the university.”
