Summer Conference Resident Assistants (CRAs) act similarly to Resident Assistants by serving as liaisons and community builders between University Housing and Summer Conference groups.

They also help prepare Housing for the fall semester and provide administrative support under the supervision of the Coordinator for Residential Services.
