Residence Work Scenarios

1683 Words7 Pages

I am interested in continuing to serve in Residence life as senior staff because I want to help new RAs feel like they belong, grow and improve Residence Life, and to challenge myself to perpetuate growth. One of my personal strengths is connecting with people on an individual level. Connecting with people on an individual level is very important to me, during an Imposter syndrome lecture, the speaker mentioned “A sense of belonging fosters confidence”.

Visiting other buildings allowed RA’s to learn from each other and provide insights into each of the different areas. I sense huge opportunity to build a system that incorporates cross staff teams and creates a social challenge that people look forward to!

Developing bonding opportunities between staffs would reduce overall tension and help alleviate
