I printed each slide off on a different colored piece of paper so that it stood out

A bulletin board made to address some of the common concerns that incoming students feel, especially those that are first generation. This BB addresses those concerns and explains ways to combat them.

construction paper, tape, felt leaves, glue dots, markers

I used construction paper to make a large tree in the lobby of our building. I then purchased felt leaves of various sizes and glue dots. I placed them out on a table with markers and instructions to write what you are Thankful for on the leave and place it on the Tree of Thanksgiving. It was a HUGE hit.

(Community Service)

i need help

Hey everyone, I need some help thinking of an idea of what to do with this topic: Given a budget of $1,000 develop a community service project for the residents. Please begin with addressing the type of service you'd like to implement, thoroughly describing the detailed and specific process of how to implement such service project. Be sure to include a time line that covers from the planning to the implementation phases of your proposal; as well as the allocation of the $1000

(Sexual Education)

presentation on birth control options on campus, condoms (enough for 3-5 per resident), tape to help with hiding the condoms, gift card or other prize

We had our School Nurse come and talk to the dorm about what family planning options what sexual health testing the clinic does. While she was giving her 30 min presentation the RAs went through each hallway hiding condoms. Then we set the residents out on a hunt for the most condoms, the one that brought back the most won a gift card to Wal-Mart. The best part is that everyone got free condoms out of the deal and learned about the birth control methods they could get for free on campus.

Candy, cups,STD/STI's information sheet

Have several types of candy each representing a different STD/STI. Have one candy represent unwanted pregancy and another for abstaining. Place candies in cup and give out the residents. Ask residents to mingle with one another sharing candy if they desired. After ten mins have everyone take out their candies and look at the variety they have. Read off the different STD/STI's they may have contracted.

hamburgers, hotdogs, frisbees, balls

This was a summer program which included the RA's cooking hamburgers and hotdogs residents given the option to play ultimate frisbee, kickball, or four square. This was a great success. Residents were intrigued by the name and came out to play!

mini flower pots, soil, seeds, paint, paintbrushes

This is a great program to cover the health problems caused by smoking Pot. I purchased the smallest flower pots. Residents were able to be creative and paint the pots. Then they could plant a small flower once the paint dried. We talked about the effects of pot. This was a lot of fun and a huge success!

quesstion preparation, snacks

I found several questions like do you like cats or dogs better, have you been outside of the country, would you rather live at the beach or in the mountains, etc. that I asked at my first program. It was a great way to meet the residents and find commonalities. Each resident was given the option to answer and several even shared short stories.
