Hi! My name is Rena Gore!!
And as the blog would suggest I work in residence life!!
For those of you not familiar with res life, as I like to call it, let me explain it to you. Res Life is one of the many departments within the college campus. We, people in res life, work with all the students that choose to live on campus, thus making those students residents. There are many different functions and positions in residence life, depending on what campus, university, and/or college that you work at, ranging from the policy makers, the fundraisers, the programmers, policy enforcers, community builders, and so much more.
My specific role is hall director, meaning that I am responsible for the things that happen in my hall. Part of being a hall director means supervising a staff of student leaders, most commonly called Resident Assistants also known as RAs (I have 6), and an entire building of residents (I have roughly 325 give or take a few room changes).
This is my first year as a hall director but not my first year in res life. I have been in res life for at least three years and I plan to be in it for a lot longer, prayerfully. I will tell you more about my life in res life later but for now I thought it was definitely time for me to get this blog rolling especially since res life is a big part of what I do and who I am.
I hope you enjoy it and leave comments and even if you don't, please still leave comments.
Let me know what you think and feel free to share your stories of res life here as well.
Much love and peace till next time,
This is RenaG and I'm signing out!!
