Residence Life is looking for students that exhibit Christian maturity, humility, and leadership skills for our 2018-19 leadership teams. Presently, 66 students serve as Resident Assistants and Assistant Area Coordinators. We are looking for men and women who (a) seek to be stretched and transformed in their leadership roles, (b) value the diversity of our faith community, and (c) desire to invest deeply into the communities flourishing and growth. We would value your suggestions and recommendations for students to be considered for these positions.
We will personally encourage the students you recommend to seek candidacy in our programs. Past and current student leaders have reported that recommendations from peers, staff and faculty are one of the most important reasons they consider these positions. Personal encouragement goes a long way for students, especially for those who struggle to see themselves as qualified for leadership positions.
If you would like to recommend a student, fill out this response form by Monday, Nov. 19. We have moved to an electronic format for recommendations to reduce paper waste and costs.
If you have any questions, contact Dexter Ballard (ballardd@georgefox.edu).
