• Resident Advisor

  • Aug 2007 - Dec 2008

  As Resident Advisor, I was responsible for the 40+ residents living in my hall. It was my job to make sure that they were not only safe, but also making sure they were following the campus rules, and documenting any incidents when they were not.Another big part of my job was to ensure that my residents felt "at home" in the dorms. I did this by planning activities where they could all get together and have fun. These activities included game nights, movie nights, hiking, beach, and (in the winter) sledding trips, as well as simply going to dinner together in the cafeteria together.
