SRSU celebrates its student employees that work tirelessly alongside our departments for National Student Employment Week, from April 14-18. Every day this week, we will highlight groups of our student employees in part with Financial Aid and @srsucareers. Kicking off the celebration is our student employees at @srsureslife - the Resident Assistants!

__________

“Our Resident Assistants (RAs) are phenomenal! They are a dedicated group of student leaders who play a critical role in supporting and caring for our residential students. Living within the communities they serve, RAs are often the first to respond—whether it's a minor concern or a major crisis. They offer a listening ear, connect students to vital resources, and help create a sense of comfort and belonging during challenging moments, both personal and academic. Beyond emotional and peer support, our RAs help maintain the safety and security of our residential communities. Through a 24/7, 365-day duty rotation, they remain consistently available to ensure that students feel safe, seen and supported. Their work is often behind the scenes but deeply impactful. We appreciate their heart, resilience and the genuine care they bring to our campus every single day.”

Shoutout to (from left to right front row) RA Arianna, RA Ale, RA Alysa, RA BreAnna, RA Maddy, (from left to right back row) RA Chris, RA Ari, RA Aubrey, RA Beto G, RA Rachael, RA Beto M, RA Jacob, and RA Roman!

Last month’s hike with Dr. Maureen Frank was cancelled due to the weather, but we surely enjoyed the beautiful snow and much-needed moisture! ❄️☀️
Now that spring is in full bloom, join us for our next Guided Hike on Hancock Hill—this time with native plants in the spotlight! 🌵🌾 Helen Snook with West Texas Native Seeds will lead us through the Chihuahuan Desert landscape, highlighting native grasses, cacti, forbs, and shrubs in seed, fruit, or flower. A perfect way to connect with the desert’s seasonal magic!

The SRSU Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) hosted their 2nd annual Field Day April 2. @srsu.saac volunteers facilitated sports-themed stations and participated alongside students from @thealpinebucks for a morning of fun and games! This event is sponsored by @srsu.cesa and included approximately 20 SRSU athlete volunteers and 25 students from Alpine schools.
 
“We love to be a growing part of this community and want every chance to pour back into it,” said Assistant Athletic Director Clayton Garcia. “Events like this bring our SAAC students as much joy as it does for the AISD students who participate.”
