STUDENT LIFE
The indispensable RA
 Dan
Voors is a junior majoring in business. Students generally
take on the RA role during their sophomore or junior
years.

RAs let students know about
all of the social activities available to them in the halls
and on campus, including ministry, community service, recreational
sports and student organizations.
How would a university survive without them? They come to
campus in mid-August to learn all that’s possible about
supervising the floors of students due to flood the residence
halls.
For Dan Voors, working as an RA is a family tradition.
His mom, Carin, was an RA in Schroeder and his dad, Jerry,
was a dining hall student-manager. Dan will carry on the
legacy, supervising Mashuda’s 7East, a community of 28-30
men. “It’s easy to get guys active with sports, but I also want
to let them know there’s other things out there like ministry, community
service and student programming,” he says.
An RA supervises every hall
floor. These student-employees build the hall communities and enforce the
rules for living on campus. Dan knew he wanted the job after
he saw how central his own RA was.
“My RA was available to anybody anytime
they wanted to talk, and I could see myself in that role,”
he says.
