Helping the students with question they have concerning the program or the plan.  My primary function as Resident Assistant is to oversee the Residence Halls where the McNair Scholars reside. I assist with the McNair Scholars program in facilitating other programmatic activities.  I help the students with any questions that they might have concerning their responsibilities as McNair scholars.  My responsibilities as a Resident Assistant also includes working with the Dorm Director to facilitate check-in and check-out of the residence hall, reporting any and all incidencesm, closely observing the students and confront unacceptable behavior, reporting any violation of the rules to the McNair office, calling the McNair office on a regular basis to "check-in", serving as an exemplary role model at all times, being familiar with each student's medical needs and/or other needs as it relates to the McNair Program, and performing other related  duties. Helping the students with question they have concerning the program or plans for the day is another part of my job.  I also work in the office doing miscellaneous errands that need to be done and I take pictures to put in the Ronald McNair scrapbook as a record of the various workshops, research and trips. The contribution I bring to McNair is two years of working experience under the director of McNair and my many ideas that I feel can make the program run more smoothly.
