Why is role modeling important as a

returning RA?

How do expectations and goals play into the

success of the RA position?

How are you creative or innovative within

the RA position?

How are you meeting the needs of your

residents and fellow staff members?

An individual's personal ethical

system is determined by their

own personal belief system but

is still formed around the

organization they belong to

What does being ethical

mean to you?
