Neighborhood Assistant
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Neighborhood Assistant (NA) is a replacement term for a [Residential Assistant]. The only difference that exist in that Neighborhood makes a community feel more like home and brings people closer. This title was changed at Oakes college, University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) because Oakes College has a strong sense of community. Leonel, an NA, says, "Oakes would not be the same if my title was Residential Assistant because people usually feel a 'police' figure from the word Residential and neighborhood sounds friendly."
