LEXINGTON, Ky. (May 3, 2021) — Resident advisors (RAs) fulfill multiple vital roles on a college campus: they mentor students, foster a feeling of community and belonging, serve as a primary resource for questions and concerns, and help students navigate new territory. As both students and employees, they balance their own academic and personal responsibilities while simultaneously being on-call at a moment’s notice. In March 2020, when University of Kentucky students expected to return from Spring Break to their residence halls on campus, RAs dropped everything to help ensure a safe and speedy move-out in record time. One year after, second-year Lewis Hall RA Deborah Myers says she will not soon forget what it was like on campus in March 2020.
