You all have heard quite a bit about the WAICU RA Conference this month and how cool it was. Well we wanted to give an opportunity for the RAs who attended to give their own thoughts on the experience. Here's what your fellow RAs had to say about their adventures at Concordia!
Maggie:
"I learned that programming can be cut many different ways, but the main focus should always be connecting with your residents and creating a community."Rachel Grutza:
"My favorite part was getting to know other people and have something in common. I was able to bounce ideas off of the other RAs. And I suggest everyone do the case study comp, it was a great way to meet others. I also just enjoyed hanging out with our staff on the ride to and from and at dinner."
Marthe:
"At Marquette they have three conversations instead of programming. The idea is to create a 1/1 relationship with all your residents and really get to know them. I think this is a very good and thoughtful idea. "
Kari:
"I thought it was so interesting that no matter how different the campuses and policies were at different schools, we all had the same common goals and vocabulary. It was cool to see that Reslife is not a Ripon bubble sort of thing, it's a bigger experience than that and there are lots of students from all over that are doing the same things we are for the same reasons. It's not just us!"
