On Thursday, April 9th, residents of Hulbert Hall gathered in the Hulbert B/C mezzanine to do crafts with RA Nevaeh. Held at the front desk, crayons, markers, and Loom bracelet kits were spread across the table alongside printed out coloring pages whilst Oreo cookies and other treats were available to enjoy whilst residents relaxed by coloring or to stop by to get a snack. However, many residents opted to color instead, in which Neveah printed out cute coloring pages of outdoors-esque pages.
Nevaeh is a first year RA on Hulbert Side C, and had considered being an RA since last year, as she wanted to bring residents together during their first year at college in a fun, relaxing way without making it feel intimidating or stressful.
“I wanted to help build a community within a resident hall and create fun events such as this one,” she said when it comes to being an RA, she said that her most favorite part is that what students considering becoming an RA may find appealing is seeing other students connect with each other alongside helping her residents engage and grow as a community together.
“Just trying to help build the community is fun and seeing residents grow connection and even friendships with each other by the end of the year compared to the beginning of the year is great to see.”
However, Nevaeh is not sure if she will be an RA next year, but she said that being able to be one was an exciting opportunity for her to do and absolutely recommends becoming one if you want to leave a fostering and positive impact on your community! As for hosting more RA events such as hers, Nevaeh said that doing them alongside other RA’s are fun to do in general as it gives more opportunities for residents to come out and be able to do activities that may appeal to them alongside the community it brings together.
Whilst she is not sure if she will be hosting anymore RA events for the rest of the year, there are many more opportunities and events RA’s in Hulbert are hosting for any residents to be able to join in and enjoy! RA Amber has an event coming up on April 20th at Hulbert Lounge 215 B, where she will be hosting a game night for residents to enjoy alongside a movie night on April 22nd, where residents can watch Breakfast Club!
