Michael Smith of Manheim Named Resident Assistant at Lebanon Valley College

2014 Sep 26

Michael B. Smith of Manheim, Pa., was selected to serve as a resident assistant at Lebanon Valley College in Non-Traditional Housing for the fall of 2014. Smith, a graduate of Manheim Central High School, is pursuing a bachelor of science in early childhood education and special education.

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.
