Roland Smith, student life, proclaimed Nov. 11, "RA Appreciation Day" to honor the 174 resident assistants whom he called "the heart of the residence life program at the University of Delaware."
In the proclamation, Smith stated, "As resident assistants, you play an important and demanding role in the life of the University-important because you do much to assist those in need of help; and demanding because you must educate your fellow students to realize their highest potential."
He continued, "While the demands are great, the rewards are numerous. Most significant is the knowledge that you have an impact on the lives of the students with whom you interact.
"You work to establish an environment where diversity is valued and academic pursuits can be undertaken...."
Activities surrounding RA Appreciation Day varied from building to building, including thank-you banners, decorated doors and social events.
