My Neighborhood VisionBased on the needs of your residents, the MasonValues, and your professional identity, what is yourvision for your neighborhood?

How will you implement this vision with your OHRL neighborhood team?

What will you do to forecast effective spending and how will you assist your staff inplanning to spend their budgets?

Its a terrible thing to see and have no vision. - Helen Keller

How is your vision shaped

by who you are as aprofessional and what youvalue in a community?

Neighborhood Presents Programsare largescale events open to the campus community and

hosted by the neighborhood teams 3 to 5 times

per semester. These large scale events connect

students to their living environment as well as

engage them with the campus community.

ADRLS oversee the vision, budget, and successful

completion of the large scale programming process

with their RD team. Neighborhood Presents programsshould connect students to their neighborhood

community and engage them with campus resources.

Community/area programshappen weekly and are

planned and implemented by RAs. We encourage RAs to

plan many of their programs for their individual community

but there will be opportunities to connect residents with

their fellow community members in their residential area.

ADRLs work with RDs to ensure that community development

plan goals are being met through these programs and that

these goals fit into their vision.

Community meetingsare guided

discussions facilitated by the RAs during

which residents discuss their community

needs whether its setting community

standards or discussing closing.

ADRLs ensure their vision is being

maintained through community

meetings.

CDC Supported Series Programsare smallercollaborations with university partners while providing

residents with unique opportunities to connect to their peersin the neighborhood. This is an experience for HRA andgraduate student CDC members to plan programs. TheCDC provides support and will host at least 3 events in eachneighborhood per semester.

ADRLs work with their CDC representatives to ensure the

series program follows with all neighborhood branding

(logos, titles, etc.) and neighborhood vision.

The things we do

RSA Involvement is a criticalpiece of community developmentfor the neighborhood and campus

community.ADRLs will encourage RDs to

consider how decisions will impact

residents and how to include RSA in

neighborhood programming and

decisions.
