Get Pumped!

Hello Wonderful Towers Staff!

We are about a week away from the start of training and I hope you are compiling your things and preparing for training! I strongly suggest you buy/make your door decs and prepare/print your bulletin boards before the start of training. Once training is over for the day you do not want to go back to your apartment and work on bulletin boards and door decs. I am planning on having my floors' bulletin boards done by Monday at the latest and have my door decs ready for names once we get the rosters. Don't forget to get your theme/bulletin board ideas approved by your Hall Director!

In the newsletter from Ivet she mentioned camp. For those of you who are new, the entire ResLife Department goes on a retreat to the Sandy Hill Camp for a weekend of staff bonding. They have a website (which I don't have handy, I apologize) so go ahead and check out all they have to offer. For camp you will need the following items:
- water bottle
- sleeping bag/bedding
- pillow
- bug spray
- sunscreen
- toiletries
- sneakers
If I missed anything please feel free to add! During camp there is a good deal of cheering to get pumped up. Every complex and section (north, east, west, and central) all have cheers for themselves. I have a list of all our previous chants and can email them out in order for everyone to look over them before we review them. If you have any ideas for new cheers write them down so we can have some new ones!

I hope you are all getting pumped for training and meeting your residents! I'm planning on having a pizza party the last night of check in to meet all my residents. The earlier you start to meet your residents and host events the better. It gets harder and harder to form relationships once the school year gets in full swing.


See you all soon!
