Remember to enjoy the experience. It will be one of the most rewarding you will have. You will learn more that you think. Your director is the best resource you have. There's no substitute for a good attitude.
Tough situations are an excellent time for learning.
November Is . . . Each month the RA Spectator will feature useful and sometimes outright silly month-long celebrations and designations. I attended a year of graduate school at the U of Montana in sociology before returning to Concordia as a staff member. This is my 4th year as a Hall Director, and my first year as Assistant Director of Residence Life. Camping, crafts, reading, video games.
