Two from Southwest Roanoke County named resident advisors at Virginia Tech
Two Virginia Tech students from Southwest Roanoke County have been chosen to be resident advisors at Virginia Tech for the 2009-10 academic year.
They are:
* Faunice Jackson, a sophomore majoring in biological sciences in the College of Science.
* Rebecca Kallen, a sophomore majoring in architecture in the College of Architecture and Urban Studies.
In order to be chosen as a resident advisor, students must be in good academic and disciplinary standing, complete at least 30 credit hours, take a training course, and go through an extensive interview process.
Resident advisors live in the residential halls with other students and each serves as a peer advisor and university liaison to their student residents. They help to foster relationships between residents, plan activities and educational programs, serve as a resource for university and community services, and enforce residence hall and university policies.
