Meet the RAs! - Sean Mathis

SIU Residence Life has some great things going on, and we want to showcase some of our proud moments on our blog.

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 Sean Mathis, RA in Bailey Hall.
