As a student residential leader, or more commonly known as Cluster Leader (CL) in PGPR, you will work closely with Resident Fellows (RF) and Resident Assistants (RA) to look into residents’ welfare within your cluster. Your role as a key communicator in a cluster – comprising single floor residents – is pivotal within the student care support network.
This includes promoting community living among cluster through establishing strong rapport with your residents, welcoming them into campus residential living and organization of cluster events for bonding. To add on, CLs also play a crucial role as our fire wardens to ensure the safety and security within the cluster. Hence fire safety and pastoral peer support trainings are specifically arranged for our CLs to be better equipped when they take on this student leader appointment. All CLs are required to attend a mandatory Mass CL Training and Induction before the start of Semester.
Many CLs thereafter progress to take on a bigger role in residences as RAs. As an RA, you will undergo a myriad of trainings to build life skills so as to succeed in your role. These life skills, and the experience gleaned from being an RA have proven useful even after you graduate from NUS.
Get in touch with your Resident Fellows and Resident Assistants to learn more about the opportunity to join us as a Cluster Leader.
