RMs are full-time students who live and work in the villages where they are employed. They develop valuable business skills in supervision and administration while improving communication skills. RMs usually cannot hold assistantships, fellowships, or other outside employment concurrently with the RM position. RM application packets are available only when positions are advertised. At that time, applicants must be available locally for interviews, but are not required to live in the villages prior to applying for the RM position.
Assistants work with judicial affairs for residence halls performing clerical support.
Pools typically open from March through October, at the single student residence hall pools. Among other things, applicants must have current Red Cross, YMCA or other nationally recognized aquatic training program Lifeguard certification. Applicants must know first aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Applicants must visit the UF Division of Housing front desk for application materials and a complete position description. Assistants design housing publications, original graphics, produce internal newsletters, design electronic publicity for Channel 8, program Channel 8 movies, answer resident questions and facilitate issue resolution.
