Fire Alarm went off this morning. My thought process:

Eh? What’s going on?

Oh…it’s a fire alarm.

Yeah that’s right rezzies…get yoselves up.

Then I’m just like…wait…this means I get to see my staff!

“Hey! To anyone who has problems with showers being dirty, poor program attendance or really anything else, here’s a good idea: Hang flyers IN the shower head or curtain. People can’t miss it and will remember it! :) I’m doing for my floor meeting tomorrow <3”

ABSOLUTELY! That is…assuming your residents shower regularly…

Residence Halls are covered with 8½X11 flyers to a point of being a fire hazard. As RAs we have the advantage of knowing which places in our buildings are traffic-heavy or eye catching. For example, I like hanging my flyers halfway off the ceiling in the stairwells so they dangle down. I’ve also heard of dry-erase marker on mirrors.

RAs and student leaders: What are some out-of-the-ordinary things you do to attract people to programs?
