The CommunityCoordinator • Who I am: Brandon Smith. Senior.

Communications/Journalism. RA for 2-1/2 years in McLean.• What did I do: I worked with RDs all summer to plan RA

training. I mainly worked on the resource room withChristian Barber. It has a few upgrades. The computers arenew, still Windows XP, but new. It is painted, we got newsupplies : a cool machine that prints out door decs for you,we got more cut-outs, new letters, adult scissors, real

Crayola Markers, yardsticks, rulers, more rolls of coloredpaper, printer ink, internet access, sharpies… and sofas. :)Christian and I have tried to convert the “Resource Room”into an RA Lounge. We’re still working on the vendingmachine and a snack bar…



• What I do: coordinate community.

I am here to help you . I will help you withprograms, coach you in programming, stockthe resource room, and will meet with theRDs and Barry every week. I will have office

hours because I live off campus, and I have aseparate email address. I also will be sitting inon staff meetings to throw around someideas. I will send out monthly newsletters,

monthly campus programming calendars, andhaving a few programs/activities of my own!

• The points must be turned inon time

• Each point turned in thatmonth will get the RA oneadditional chance to win - no

limit. :)

• For this raffle, the points for entry will only be usable for that specific month, so theydon’t compound month-to-month



Community BrixBricks have generally been overlooked for the

past few years, but I’m bringing them back.

You earn a brick when you get 10 communitypoints, win “Program of the Month” or “BulletinBoard of the Month”

In the fall, they can get you into a dinner, and inthe spring, can translate into RA Bux. I will tryto keep Brix handed out monthly!



Secretsof

Compounding Points



After the FIRST TWO WEEKS ofschool, every RA should have atleast 16 points16 points from wingmeetings alone. This does notinclude every event you will walk

residents to that you arerequired to attend (like the mainspeaker on drugs and alcohol),which can add up to

between 25-30 pointsbetween 25-30 points .



Extra Points this Week• Thurs - Main Speaker (3) and Evening

Social (3)• Friday - Home Away from Home (3),

Funnest Night Ever (3)• Sat - Human Scrabble (3), Midnight

Bingo (3)• Sunday - Activities/Involvement Fair (2)



Required Points this Week• Developmental Interviews (2)• Community Living Agreement (3)• Roommate Agreements (3)• Interest Surveys and Goals (2)• Human Understanding Pledge (2)

• Bulletin Boards (2pts ea)• Door Decorations (1 point)• Community Goal Sheet (2)



If you attend the previously listedactivities ( 16 points total ) and completethe required meetings/decorations/etc

(17 points total ), that gives you 33points with only 17 more to meet your base requirement.

…but that’s not all…



If you take those 33 points from

the first two weeks, and add inthe 5 points each you’ll get fromthe required Cultural Connectionsand Weekend Programs, you’ll haveabout 43 points total, leavingyou with only 7 points for therest of the semester.

IT’S THAT EASY



Also, if you take a simple program, such asseeing a movie, you can get points for…

1 having a program on a weekend3 going off-campus1 use the Raider bus/RHA van to get there=5 points for the whole program!

5 Have faculty member speak to residents1 On a weekend3 Then take them off-campus for ice cream=9 points

**However, I am NOT saying that after you complete your 50 points for thesemester, you just STOP. There are some NEW incentives to running upmore points which we will speak of later…



How will points be turned in?



~Top Half~



~Bottom Half~



• Each individual RD will discuss withtheir staffs how to turn in points andevaluate points

• The point of these programming sheetsis to be setting yourself goals and

evaluating the quality and substance of each program and activity you execute



(Hand out papers now. Thanks Christian.)

any inappropriate use of the Ship shiplogo

• Clean up your ads after program isfinished.
