Dear Professional Staff of University Housing:

I am writing this letter on behalf of my interest in becoming a Community Mentor. University Housing plays a vital role in student life on campus, and I am interested in helping to foster academic and personal success throughout the residence halls.

Becoming a Community Mentor would be an amazing opportunity to allow me to provide the best experience for students around the campus. I am interested in being a Community Mentor for Century Hall as I have been impacted by my Community Mentors, and want to show incoming freshmen all of the amazing resources provided by ASU. Working with others and enhancing their experiences is a passion of mine that I am actively pursuing. I am currently a Programming

    Personal Narrative: My Experience As A Student Mentor

    My junior year in high school, I became a student mentor in our campus’s peer counseling program. This was an incredibly rewarding experience as I had the opportunity to help freshman students assimilate into our high school dynamic. As a peer mentor, I assisted students with personal problems and mediated issues with teachers in order to maximize their learning experience. I also acted as a role model for my mentees by talking frequently about AP and Honors courses and how to be successful in such programs. I put effort into learning about each individual's interests and goals so that I could expose them to clubs and academic courses that they may appreciate such as the Biomedical Academy or our school’s robotics team.…

    Blanco Hall Case Study

    The lack of improvements and renovations made to Blanco Hall has flourished into a major problem for it’s Texas State University student residents. As a current student at Texas State University who resides in Blanco Residence Hall, I have personally experienced the absence of undertaken measures in regards to the issue of my residence hall’s condition. I propose that the Director of Housing at Texas State University shows empathy towards Blanco Hall residents, eradicates the idea that residence halls built decades ago should remain in the same conditions, and schedules a fumigation of the mold at Blanco Hall due to her being knowledgeable of the effects that college students living environments can have on them. The Director of Housing at…

    Governor Coumo: Article Analysis

    There is a need for correctional education! As mentioned in Governor Coumo’s article there are many statistics that support educating prisoners and how that education positively correlates to them not being incarcerated again. When I think about correctional education, in my mind its more of the continuing education frame because often any age person in the prison system can decide to go back and get a college degree while they are in prison. In fact some may have never had the opportunity for higher education until they went to prison. I know that sounds backwards, but in some cases it is very true.…

    Quarters Housing Interview Report

    Quarters Housing To gain perspective of the student life at The Quarters, we interviewed four current tenants, with two attending Kirkwood, and two attending the University of Iowa. The ten questions asked ranged from accessibility to campus, transportation, amenities, cost balancing, and knowledge over the controversy. In their answers, there are some notable commonalities as well as a few differences. When asked how important housing was in regards to the closeness of campus, three students answered with a 4 on a five point scale and one gave a 3 on a five point scale. All stated that they had multiple forms of transportation, such as cars, the busing system, or friends which made living further away from campus easier.…

    TRIO SSS Transfer Mentor Report

    It would be the greatest honor to be a TRIO SSS transfer mentor for Wenatchee Valley College students. I am interested in being a transfer mentor because as a first-generation college student I understand that being a first-generation student of color comes with barriers, but also gives me a unique and valuable perspective with which to bring to higher education. My parents only have an elementary education and have no understanding of the U.S educational system and as the middle child of five siblings, I understand the responsibilities and pressures youth in these populations have with shouldering the burden to accessing and disseminating information to their entire family. Additionally, I understand the cultural challenges some students of color may face as many traditional households discourage pursuing…

    Towson's SAGE Program Analysis

    I’ve been member of SAGE since my freshman year both as a mentee and now as a mentor. The experiences I’ve had for the past two years with SAGE have been distinct. When I first came to Towson I was worried about not making a good transition from high school to college both academically and socially. So when I received a call from Raft to live on the residential floor I was excited for the opportunity. This first week I had with SAGE helped easy my anxiety about living away from home and not getting lost in the excitement of being independent.…

    Personal Narrative: A Career As A Mentor

    At times I think it’s often quite normal for new teachers to become overwhelmed their first year teaching. Especially at a school where there may not be enough resources to adequately assist them, this leaves many new teachers to fend for themselves. In my experience, it was my mentors that made a difference in my career, and prompted me to pay it forward and it is these mentors that I try to emulate in my own mentoring. A mentor serves as a professional role model for the mentee.…

    Smooth Transition Mentoring Program At Xavier University

    At Xavier University we believe in the “All for One and One for All” philosophy; showing that camaraderie and equality among all are still possible. One way Xavier lives up to its support for students is through the one-year long Smooth Transition mentoring program. I served as a smooth transition mentor to three incoming first-year students during the 2016-2017 academic year. In order to ensure that they have a successful first year at Xavier, I informed them about the resources Xavier University provides, including the writing center, mathematics lab, tutoring services, Ohio link, and much more. I also advised them to make good decisions and form relationships with people who would motivate them to succeed.…

    Why I Want To Be A Residential Assistant

    To who It may concern, I believe that a diverse pool of students working together to organize and construct an environment for personal growth makes the UF experience much more valuable. As a freshmen living in Jennings Hall I have watched Residential Assistants guide and help students adjust to the life as a college student. In fact, my RA Matea has been my guide with my transition to UF. I am applying to the Residential Assistant position in hopes that I can be an asset in the life of others. I will be graduating from the University of Florida in May 2019 with a Bachelor in Animal Sciences.…

    Resident Advisor Research Paper

    My interest in being a resident advisor (“RA”) stems from my desire to work intimately, candidly, and meaningfully with other people. My most rewarding relationships have all been built upon some mutually meaningful connection, whether it arises from experiencing grueling football practices together, sharing a common set of interests with someone, or working with others to finish a challenging project. I see the RA position as a way to maximize my likelihood of making these meaningful connections with other individuals, those individuals, in this case, being my future residents and fellow RAs. However, I am not applying to this position for the sole purpose of making friends, and I appreciate that the role of the RA is not always that of a friend. Even so, enhancing the lives of other individuals, with or without a corresponding friendship, is sufficiently fulfilling in and of itself.…

    The Importance Of Being Hmong At The University

    As a possible incoming student, who not only desires to, but needs to learn and attend a favorable campus, the things that I can offer and/or bring are my experiences and skills. I will try to help enrich the campus community as much as I can. Although, my experiences and interests may be easily overlooked by some because of the simple fact that I am “only seventeen,” and that everyone is still continuously evolving. I believe I can still bring something to only help enrich the community. A particular experience that I know differentiates from others is, being Hmong.…

    HLT Mentorship Analysis

    My interest in the becoming a HLT mentor stems mainly from being connected to strong mentors throughout the Honors curriculum. Each of my HLT mentors contributed greatly to my success at Kelley, and I feel obligated and would welcome the opportunity to give back to the Kelley Honor’s class below me. My first mentor, Will Colling, was actually the sole reason I landed a sophomore internship at a private equity firm. This internship helped me considerably during my search for a junior year internship in the investment banking industry. After a few meetings with Will, he recognized that I had both the free time and work ethic to be successful at the job.…

    Academic Success And Interpersonal Competence

    Two of the Illinois Residential Experience Learning Goals that relate to me the most are Academic Success and Interpersonal Competence. To me, Academic Success means taking the necessary steps to do what you have to to thrive academically; whether that is practicing quiet hours in the dorm to use your time effectively and getting work done, or going out of your way to go to the library as often as needed to focus and study for classes. Personally, I did not start going to the library until the very end of my first year second semester and now I go every day if possible to get as much work done in one sitting as possible without any distractions. Also I believe Academic Success is knowing how you learn, and taking the steps to make sure you…
