For many students, the idea of living on campus far away from home can be a hard transition. In this week’s episode, we are joined by Ashley Mentor, Resident Assistant (RA) and Graduating Senior at the University of Arizona. Ashley is currently majoring in Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences, while also serving as an RA for many anxious students learning to adapt to their new environment on campus. Find out why this first-generation student decided to become an RA and learn how to conquer homesickness and build strong relationship skills through group workshops that may be available right inside your dormitory. Ashley is currently completing her major in Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences, and her minor in Health and Human Values in the W.A. Franke Honors College at the University of Arizona. She plans to attend graduate school for Speech-Language Pathology and serve populations that haven been underserved and/or historically marginalized to improve their speech services. In addition to being a Resident Assistant on campus, she is the Vice President and New Member Educator of the Prestigious Pi Xi Chapter of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc.
