RE: Proposal to Develop Resident Assistant Manual for WSU Housing

Project Overview

Resident Assistant manual will help the WSU Housing Department when they are training their employee’s and it will help the RAs in emergency situation. It is also help RAs improve their job skills.

This will be helpful for every RAs when they are on duty.
