Georgia Tech: What is the difference between an RA and the professional residence-hall staff?
DIRECT ANSWER
RAs are student leaders who provide front-line community support; Hall Directors and other professional staff supervise communities and handle higher-level concerns.
Georgia Tech staffs residence halls with Resident Assistants and professional Hall Directors/area staff. RAs are the usual first contact for routine community issues and peer support, while professional staff manage operations, escalation, conduct and more complex residential concerns.
