Each residence hall is staffed with trained resource people who can provide residents
with the information and guidance they need to be successful residential students
at Winthrop University. It is important to understand that the guidance offered should
never be considered legal or medical advice, as our staff are not trained to provide
such services.

R.A.s are undergraduate students who are assigned to a floor or section of each building. R.A.s are resource people who provide information and opportunities to engage in programming, promote a community atmosphere in the hall, and enforce policies as necessary. They are trained to help students adjust to residence hall living by understanding campus services available to students. When responding to crisis situations or medical emergencies, R.A.s understand the need to call the Winthrop University Police Department for assistance.
Each residence hall office is staffed during various times of the day (posted at hall offices) by students trained to assist with questions, work requests, or room key issues.
