For students considering the Resident Assistant role, UAB’s Nov. 5 interest session is more than an introduction: attending one session is required before applying. The one-hour meeting is an opportunity to explore what the position involves.
Support and accountability share the job description
The university portrays RAs as a source of support for fellow students and as people responsible for maintaining community standards. The role also involves strengthening residential connections and taking on leadership among students.
The event listing invites students to learn what it takes to be an RA, but does not provide a session agenda or say whether questions are planned.

What the meeting confirms—and what it doesn’t
UAB requires attendance at one Resident Assistant interest session before applying. The calendar names current students as the intended audience, but does not set out formal eligibility criteria for the RA position or give an application deadline. Attending is a confirmed application step, not a complete guide to the selection process.

Student Housing & Residence Life also lists a distinct virtual Resident Assistant Interest Session for Tuesday, Nov. 3, from 4 to 5 p.m. The Nov. 5 event is the in-person meeting at Blazer Hall, not a remote option for that session. The Nov. 3 listing provides a Zoom link and meeting ID 9488687194.
