Dear Ms. Bonnell:

It is with great enthusiasm that I am sending this letter and the enclosed resume in application for the Resident Assistant position available. As a reliable and personable individual with experience in various student support roles, excellent communication talents, and a commitment to helping residents overcome various challenges and difficulties, I would be a valuable asset to you in this role.

My background includes working collaboratively with fellow RAs to plan, implement, and monitor creative programs to foster ongoing student development and maximize positive resident interactions. With strong inner motivation, an outgoing and friendly demeanor, and superior organization talents, I am prepared to excel in this position.

Highlights of my qualifications include…

Serving as an RA for two consecutive years at Bend River College prior to transfer to Davis King, providing overarching emotional, social, and academic support to 95 freshmen and sophomore residents.

Creating and updating bulletin boards and electronic newsletters to inform students of upcoming campus activities and events.

Providing key support in various offices through work-study positions with Bend River College—including the Registrar’s Office, Student Grades, and Academic Advisement—interacting with diverse domestic and international students and staff.

Ensuring resident hall adherence to college-wide policies, procedures, and protocols.

With my strong background in resident/student support, as well as my demonstrated commitment to consistently enforcing school policies, I am well prepared to extend my record of service to Davis King College.
