Spring 2025

RLA ANNOUNCEMENTS

VIBE CHECK

• How's everyone doing? How is J-Term going? Any fun or interesting experiences you'd like to share? 

2ND SESSION J-TERM

• Just another reminder! I will be traveling to Japan with a session of students for the last 2 weeks of J-Term. I expect to be gone from January 21st - 29th, and CC Leslie Knight of 1st Beall will be covering the hall. You can reach out to her with any questions, maintenance needs, or if you need to talk to someone. Additionally, there will be some innerhalls and programs hosted by our lovely RLAs that week!

CAMPUS WIDE JENGA TOURNAMENT

• For the second year, 1st Beall is sponsoring a campus-wide Jenga tournament from 8:00-10:00 PM on Friday, 1/17, in the Woolworth room! Halls across campus are invited to put together a team and compete bracket style until we declare a Jenga champion! Teams may be a maximum of three people, and must have at least one junior and one senior on the team; each hall may also only have one team, so chose your players wisely! If you plan to register a team, please read the complete tournament rules, and then complete the sign-up form here by 12:00 noon on Friday, 1/17.

ALL HALL

• Tomorrow night we will NOT have Housekeeping and instead have an All Hall. This is a kind of housekeeping in which every student, whether you have Housekeeping this week or not, will be assigned a task and will need to complete it before you are released. 

• All Halls are intended to build community and camaraderie between students, and ensure that students are aware of how to correctly complete their individual housekeeping task!

• During the All Hall, an RLA or myself will be stationed in one of the three areas of the hall: Bathroom, Lounge, and Hallway. When you've completed your task, one of us will check it off and ensure it has been done correctly. When you've been checked off, you're done! But, you must stay on hall until all students are done with their tasks. We will send a message in the hall groupchat when the All Hall has concluded!

• All Halls are also great opportunities to ask any questions you may have about Housekeeping or a specific Housekeeping task!

• After you sign check, please remain on hall so you can be assigned a task. This may take 10-20 minutes, as I am taking check in Bryan Lobby tomorrow. Hang out, talk to some folks you haven't seen in a while, and when you're assigned a task, you can go ahead and get started!

• I ask that all students stay on hall, either in their rooms or in the lounge, until the All Hall and all tasks are complete. 

DO'S, DON'TS AND DONUTS - HUMAN TRAFFICKING

• Join the Title IX Office in the PFM Blue Lounge on Thursday, Jan 16 at 4pm for Dos, Don'ts, and Donuts! Since January is Human Trafficking Awareness Month, we'll be talking about human trafficking, looking at scenarios, and busting myths. See you there!

TTWP (Things That Were Plugged)
