Hello, Loyal Fans!
I have some great news for you all. As you know, I have been packing, mentally prepping, and really preparing for my big move to Virginia Tech over the past couple of weeks... Well, let's be honest. I have really been doing it since the end of April! Yesterday, I received some good news on where I will be working this upcoming fall, and I could not be more thrilled. Lucky for you, I am going to give you some of the specs on this little (well, it is rather big) gem.
I have the opportunity to co-supervise in the largest hall at Virginia Tech: Pritchard! There are:
*1,100 first year students, living in a co-ed, traditional environment. Hope these students are ready for some high-energy!
*27 RAs.
*2 Senior RAs. Hope these staff members are ready for some high-energy!
*The SERVE (Students Engaging and Responding through Volunteer Experiences) living-learning community. For those of you who know me, this is a perfect fit. I worked in a service and leadership office for three years during my undergraduate days. AND I may be a bit crazy for some LLCs!
*The Thrive LLC, focused around positive psychology and StrengthsQuest. It is a brand new First Year Experience program. My Zink-Allen Staff will be happy to know that I will probably be continuing with the exercises we did this past spring.
There is a lot to be excited for. I'm excited to work with another RLC to continue building and refining who I am as a leader. (Is it too soon to call ourselves the Dynamic Duo? I don't think so...) I'm excited to work with a supervisor who I know will care about me as a person and professional. I'm excited for my new co-workers and friends. And I'm excited to move back east!
In addition to this news yesterday, I continued planning our adventure to Fayetteville. This is going to be an incredible last mini-vacation with some good people. We will see if I can manage the car ride out there with a spastic animal in the back seat.
Well, that is all for today. Enjoy the last few days of the week. You know I will be enjoying my 4-day weekend. :)
