Meet the RAs! - Ron Addison

SIU Residence Life has some great things going on, and we want to showcase some of our proud moments on our blog. We 
also hope people considering working in RA, graduate assistant, or full-time positions with our department will take a minute to learn more about the things we are doing. More information about our department, including position descriptions, application information, and graduate and full-time staff profiles can be found on our recruitment website.

As we recruit new Resident Assistants for the 2014-2015 year, we wanted to introduce a few of the talented individuals currently on our team. This profile features Ron Addison, RA in Mae Smith Hall!

What’s your name? Ron Addison 


Where are you from? Saint Anne, IL


What’s your major? Aviation Technology


What is the best program or event you’ve been to on campus? Job Bound, HvZ (Humans vs. Zombies), Dawgs Nite Out


What was the last book you read for fun? The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins


What is your favorite thing about being an RA? Being exposed to the various cultures and personalities.

Where do you see yourself in 10 years? Ten years from today is a long time, but at the same time I know it'll go by quickly. The main goal that I have is to be with a company that I can still be within five or ten years. I hope to continue to grow, develop within the department, and move forward within my responsibilities, taking on more escalated issues and projects as time progresses. I am not concerned where the company is; I am more interested in being with the same company, just in a more advanced role.

What do you do to unwind when you’re feeling stressed? Jog, Read, Listen to music
