Resident Assistant/Resident Mentor/Graduate Resident Mentor Drop-in Discussion and Consultation Group

Group Meets:  Wednesdays, 4 - 5 pm, starting 9/9/09 at the Hart Hall Classroom; you may attend as many or as few of these groups as you would like.

Being an RA/RM/GRM can be one of the most rewarding learning experiences a student can have. The life of an Assistant/Mentor can also be challenging and filled with multiple responsibilities as you balance:  1) your need for an academic, personal, and social life, with 2) your job as a role model, fellow student, friend, policy enforcer, mentor, and Department of Residence Life and Housing employee.

Topics for discussion include:

• Mastering the fine art of being an RA/RM/GRM
• Dealing with challenging people, conflict, and unusual situations that may occur on your floor
• Building your emotional RA/RM/GRM toolkit
• Receiving support for the personal feelings and conflicts that often arise in daily student life
• Peer consultation and building upon experience
• Discussion about any topic you want, with an emphasis on finding solutions, solving problems, and taking care of yourself in a non-judgmental atmosphere of trust and support

This group is only open to students currently employed as RA's/RM's/GRM's in the Department of Residence Life and Housing. You may attend as many or as few of these groups as you would like.

Join us for a weekly discussion group as we work to attain balance in our lives and personal satisfaction in our work.
