Applications will not be accepted or interviews scheduled for anyone not meeting the above criteria. The position can be very demanding in terms of time and energy and requires a commitment of 20 hours per week. Each ARA will be expected to have set hours approved by the director. However, the nature of the position is such that its responsibilities are determined not so much by a time clock or a calendar, but by the needs of residents. Some periods, such as training, opening, and closing will require more time than average, but other responsibilities will arise that cannot always be anticipated and scheduled.

Attend ARA staff meetings throughout the year. Academic Community Development Become acquainted with all of the residents in the building.
