OUR FINDINGS RELATED TO ADVISEMENT

From Advisors Identified communication,

teambuilding, and social responsibility as expectations

Inconsistent 1:1s between RD + ARD

Programmatic vs. developmental 1:1s

Lack of advisement models and curious about department expectations

Personalized goal-setting

From HGRs (Former SLs) Equity between positions Addressing HGR aspirations

to become RAs Connections to OCHC, RA,

FIR Looking for motivation,

guidance, confidence, morale building

Identify Advisor as a great mentor

Need assistance in balancing academic identity of student with growing leadership potential.

COMMUNITY GOVERNANCE

No two Residence Halls are alike Your government is just that, YOURS! The government, as it existed, is gone. The only position you must have is a COMMUNITY

REPRESENTATIVE (formerly EVP) who will attend Monday night Association meetings.

Suggested Positions:

President, Controller, Birthday Committee, Door Knockers etc.

passes it on to representatives Representatives survey residents via Facebook, Twitter, Monday

Night Community Meetings, etc. Representative creates a report for the next meeting
