ABOUT ME…

Native Hoosier…one RA in the room has a parent who is my college classmate Expect to see me in your building often – I like to see what’s happening for

myself Don’t be surprised if I call you on the phone to ask about a

student/program/issue Don’t be shy about raising a praise, concern, or question with me if you have

one Give me some time on names – there are approximately 75 of you and one of

me! If we see each other on campus, make sure you re-introduce yourself. Expect that I will try to do at least one meal with you and your staff each

semester! I very much enjoyed teaching EDHI 200! If you liked 200, think about taking

EDHI 201!

HRL MISSION

We support the academic success and personal

growth of our students through safe, comfortable,

affordable, and diverse living and learning

communities.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

Students will express their thoughts in a clear, concise, and respectful manner.

Students will incorporate a variety of viewpoints into their understanding of the world.

Students will respect their environment and the individuals within it.

Students will establish healthy interdependence. Students will constructively demonstrate their societal

rights and responsibilities. Students will explore their values.

WHAT WE HOPE TO ACHIEVE

A positive experience for all of our residents

Academic success and retention into the next school year

Involvement and connection in the campus and Muncie community

Acceptance and embracing of the differences in your floor/hall/campus community

Students achieving interdependence and becoming self-advocates

Direct interaction with all of our residents (this is not just something memorize to fill out a sociogram!)

You must act as a catalyst for this to occur!

YOUR PERSONAL IMPACT

You will be recognized as a campus leader wherever you go – act like one!

Your residents – as a floor community – will follow your lead in attitude, engagement, and your style of communication – what does that look like?

You are the first (and sometimes only) HRL staff member with whom your residents interact and see – be the best resource you can be.

YOUR ROLE IN RETENTION

Important to see residents persist from year one to year two and beyond

Students make their decisions about next year (stay or go, live on or off) by the end of September

Residence hall requirement: 10 credit hours per semester (think 15 initiative)

Progress towards graduation and financial aid

SOME ADVICE FROM ME…

Academics before job! Get to know your residents The little stuff always

becomes big stuff in a hurry, so don’t make bad assumptions

Read the manual – many of your answers are there

Use your resources: Your directors Your peers Other offices on campus Faculty and staff

When in doubt, ask the question

Know your current events Be willing to go outside of

your comfort zone Embrace conflict as an

opportunity for engagement and something positive

Take your work seriously, but don’t take yourself too seriously

Don’t underestimate your impact

MAKE SURE…

We are acting in the best interest of our students

We are doing what we said we would do (safety & security, roommate mediation, available as a resource to students, etc.)

We are reporting up

We are asking questions when we’re not sure

We show appropriate empathy (if it were I, what would I want done?) with residents and colleagues
