Welcome to the Community Engagement and Leadership LLC!
It seems like Move-In day was just yesterday! This first month has already been filled with transitions, connections, and growth. At this early point in college, times are hectic and everything is just a bit confusing. However, all of our LLC residents have done amazing with making friends and supporting each other through it all. They have all been busy decorating the floor lounge to make it feel like home and have made their own fun just about every night.
To begin the year, I hosted a Kick-Off event
where each resident took a "True Colors Leadership Style Test".
I then placed the residents into groups based on their color (leadership
style) and they worked together as a group to solve various mysteries
and riddles. Everybody ended up getting to know a little about each other and
connecting to those who have similar personalities and leadership styles.
I felt as though it was important to find a common ground for all to connect on
as our floor is very diverse when it comes to their chosen majors.
Since then we have had many late night
Mario-Kart sessions, endless coloring pages finished, and socializing within
the lounge. I have had so much fun this past month and am beyond grateful for
the amazing residents that I have an honor of working through college with this
year. Each and every one of them has shown their unique strengths and how they
can become a strong leader who will do good in the world.
I am excited to see where the rest of the year
takes us!
