Congratulations to the following student leaders who have been selected as Summer Resident Assistants and Summer Conference Assistants.

Summer Resident Assistants are paraprofessional staff members who are friendly, helpful upper-class students who live just around the corner and make life in the summer residence halls (The Village Apartments) a little easier. The Summer RA is a person who demonstrates responsibility, teamwork and a positive attitude. Above all else, the Summer RA is a role model and has the opportunity to influence a great number of students' lives.

Their primary responsibility is efficient and quality customer service to our guests. In addition, Summer Conference Assistants:

  • Provide effective and quality customer service to all guests
  • Serve as a source of information concerning Penn College and the Williamsport community
  • Facilitate conference check-ins and checkouts
  • Participate in the Conference Training Programs
  • Participate in inspecting rooms prior (and after) to conferences
  • Communicate, role model and consistently enforce Residence Life handbook and conference policies
  • Report all emergencies and situations
