RA position available; Apply Now

The Office of Residence Life is looking for RA candidates for the Fall 2012 Semester.  The RA position is a great professional development opportunity. It is especially good for students in the CSSA program to gain valuable experience working with student populations.

RA applications will be due February 8, 2012. We will be conducting individual interviews from February 13-24, and our Group Process day is February 11. For more information about the position and the process, questions can be directed to Shanté Brown (Lima Hall Area Coordinator) at browns1@mail.strose.edu or myself at austa@strose.edu.

Anyone who is interested in applying to be an RA can contact Shanté through next Friday (2/3) at noon.  That would still give us enough time to work with Career Services to provide them with access to the application and for them to have enough time to complete the application.

Just a piece of information, students can be RAs and hold a Grad Assistantship.  We have a number of RAs on staff now who are in various grad programs that have GA positions as well.  I would hate for someone to be interested and not apply because they think they can’t do both.

Scared Sick:

The Relationship Between Childhood Trauma and Adult Disease

To be published by Basic Books, January 2012

By Robin Karr-Morse with Meredith Wiley

What if many major diseases leading to human misery and death could be reduced or minimized

by an overlooked factor well within our control? What if genetics and aging were only part

of the picture—not even the main players—in triggering hypertension,

cardiovascular disease, obesity, addiction and emotional illness?

Scared Sick is the first book to reveal how fear, experienced chronically in early childhood

lies at the root of many common physical diseases as well as emotional and behavioral

pathologies. Building upon recent revelations about the core physical systems governing

health, especially the inseparable relationship between the brain, endocrine and immune

systems, the book identifies routine societal practices that- while unintentional,

are traumatic to developing nervous systems.
