Care of residents

As a resident assistant you are tasked with the roles of being a community builder, policy enforcer, campus resource, crisis responder, and a problem solver. Balancing these roles can be difficult, but the way to balance them is to connect them. Being a community builder does not always mean attending big events, it could mean engaging with residents , accompany them to dinner, walk to class together, or even just hanging out with residents and showing them they have someone on campus they can…

What do you consider to be your most meaningful contribution to Colleges Against Cancer during the 2015-16 year? I think I consider my participation in Relay for Life event as the most meaningful contribution that I have made to Colleges Against Cancer during the school year. I was not able to attend Tuesday meetings especially on winter quarter because of a job I had that needed me on Tuesday nights. However, this did not hinder me to constantly communicate to my other committee members. When…

activities that enhanced our residents’ quality of life. Prior to taking this course, I felt I had a good understanding of the TR process and that the programs provided by my department were genuinely therapeutic to the residents. Even after taking this course, I still believe that our recreation department offers quality programs with therapeutic benefits. However, taking this course has served as an evaluation…

to do volunteer work, they made me aware that this is an organization is a for profit organization. That means all the employees are getting paid to do all of the work that they do, and the price to live here is going to be more expensive for the residents due to having staff members available 24/7 around the clock. I asked, “how much charity work is done here,” and Lisa Schmitz the Administrator said, “There is not many people that opt to come in for free other than churches and some bands that…

colleagues who work hard every day to make the residence experience better.

On Tuesday, August, 23, 2016 at approximately 07:00 PM, resident Ung Gi Koh came and asked Resident Assistant (RA) Todd McKinney about a "awkward situation" of how to carry unique, and possibly embarrassing personal items over to University Gates Apartments. RA McKinney suggested putting it in his suitcase that resident Koh had lying on the floor. Resident Koh liked the idea and took RA McKinney 's idea. At approximately 7:15 PM, resident Koh returned from his journey with the suitcase and…

In view of the confirmation and the examination results, I concur with the police and coroner's discoveries. Amid the examination of Mrs. Muliaga's passing, Mercury Energy had a "don't disengage" approach with their rule or methodology (Bridgman, 2010). The contractor was familiar with the policy as he used it prior to Mrs. Muliaga’s demise in similar situations when he had knowledge that disconnecting the power could cause harm to those inside the home. Furthermore, Mrs. Muliaga and her family…

The community watched as a building progressed into a group home. Throughout the months they discussed whether it would be men, women, or a family moving into the home. They discussed the possible reason and how it could change their lives. This became a constant conversation throughout the neighborhood. They wondered how it was going to affect their environment and hoped that the people were kind. Over time the community realized that three males with schizophrenia were moving into the home.…

Placement Preferences Gibson- Gibson is my first preference to be a Resident Assistant in next year because I like that it is a alcohol, drug free building. I would enjoy Gibson because I think that I could relate to the other people that live there. I have been in Gibson on different occasions this year and last year and the tone that it has is very focused. I feel like my experience in Davis has prepared me for being an RA in Gibson. I think that I would bring my malleability to Gibson and…

with them to achieve an ideal living environment would be absolutely amazing. Serving as an RA isn’t limited to checking rooms and filling report forms. It can be a way to contribute a great deal to the residents that I am responsible for. I would create a positive social zone for all of my residents. Implicating fun and educational programs will break boundaries and provide a sense…
