College Etiquette

Hi again!

For the past two years we've done a "College Etiquette 101" workshop and the Peer Advisors have helped me create videotaped scenarios. These have been fun in the past. We've picked different situations (like a student missing class, not paying attention in class, etc.) and dramatized them to show during the workshop. It's an entertaining way to show them "what not to do" and it can be pretty funny. Do you all have any ideas of scenearios or situations that you'd like to create a skit for? We usually videotape them the week before Summer Bridge while you are all on-campus getting things ready.

Hi Everyone!

I need to start working on the t-shirt design to have enough time to get it printed. I'm trying to find images that connect with Mardi Gras and it's tough to find ones that are simple enough to work for a t-shirt and something that a guy and a girl could wear (most of them are kind of "girly" looking).

If any of you have some time or some talent to design something of your own or find an image online, like through i-stock, let me know.

Thanks
Audrey

Assignments & Service Learning

Luis posted a good question - When are we going to start assigning projects for each of you? I think we should talk about this as a group. In our last meeting we talked a little about individual projects and interests. From what I remember, Sam had mentioned contacting Salem Rep. Theater or the Improv Group about doing an evening performance. I remember Renita mentioning wanting to work on the roommate agreements for Summer Bridge. I remember talking to Luis about the Service Learning component. Oh! I have news about the Service Learning Project. We came up with a great idea at a staff meeting. It was really Letitia's idea but we all loved it. We are going to be doing a kind of mini "home make-over" for a local family in Independence. Letitia knows the family and they are in great need of help. We were thinking of just helping in their yard, painting the house and other little projects that around 40 of us could do easily in a few hours. Wouldn't that be incredibly rewarding? To see the work we accomplish that day benefit a needy family! I think it's going to be an amazing experience. We were planning on doing that on Saturday morning and then having the afternoon for fun activities with the group, maybe going to Silver Falls or something. We would still go to the beach but maybe plan that for an evening activity. We used to go to the beach for a barbecue and bonfire on Thursday night.

What do you all think? What projects would you like to take on? I can't remember if we decided on a good activity the night they move-in, Sunday.

Roomate Agreement

Hey Everyone,

Here's a link to WOU's Roommate Agreement through Residence Life. I know Renita had mentioned wanted to do this with the Summer Bridge Roommates. It's pretty long so maybe we can condense it a little, since they'll only be living together for a few days.

Let me know what you think.
Thanks- Audrey
