Join the Resident Assistants Affinity Group, led by inaugural group leader Peter Glerum '90, UW-Whitewater Foundation Treasurer. 

"Being an RA at UW-Whitewater for five semesters truly defined my college experience. Across generations, the deep bond we collectively created across buildings, residents and campus life is the glue that connects first and second year students to UWW.  35 years later I still find the connection with fellow resident assistants, both from UWW as well as other universities, as a timeless kinship. You should all be proud as you collectively chose to dedicate your time and energy to positively impacting campus life during your student days.  I’m asking for you to renew that impact and give back to Our Stories and Our Future." Peter Glerum '90
