2014 Sep 26

Blade A. Umstead of Pennsburg, Pa., was selected to serve as a resident assistant at Lebanon Valley College in Silver Hall for the fall of 2014. Umstead, a graduate of Upper Perkiomen High School, is pursuing a bachelor of science in biology.

LVC selects 48 resident assistants (RAs) from the student body who live in the residence halls and serve as mentors and role models. RAs do a mixture of social and educational programming, helping first-year students make the transition from high school to college and making sure students of all ages have access to the College's many social and academic resources.

A residential college, LVC offers a range of housing options. For the first two years, students live in traditional residence halls, allowing them to learn about themselves, meet a lot of people, and make friends. Most upperclassmen live in more independent environments, including small houses, rooms clustered as suites, or apartment-style housing.
