Mission: Fostering a healthy communal environment in the hall
Goals: Having a full grasp on what needs to be accomplished (potentially by creating an agenda/following SMART)
Success: By the completion of goals/ response from residents
Structure: CD > Lead > RAs > Residents
Responsibilities: RA's are equally responsible for the duties asked of them, and the CD is responsible for doing their best for their staff

# data[].attributes.body
We should be thinking about the residents' experiences. It is easy to forget our first year and how difficult it was. We should also listen to our residents when they tell us what they need/want. Each person has different expectations and struggles that we should be open minded about. We should think of ways to support our residents with the online school environment and then the transition to in-person classes.

# data[].attributes.body
Residents can come in with expectations of what an RA is;  but  letting residents know that we aren't their parents, and that they are responsible for themselves,
Creating an active presence both online and in person as much as possible.
Making sure residents understand the collective responsibility that is involved in keeping your hall safe; calculated risks.
Informing residents rather than telling them what to do.
Making sure both residents are on the same page in terms of  social distancing.

# data[].attributes.body
We communicate virtually through GroupMe, Zoom, email, and also IRL on occasion. We educate and share our knowledge through bulletin boards, programming, etc. we get and give feedback through 1:1's

Autonomy/Common good: Reach out with the perspective of asking if they need help, not you taking over. Communicating the full picture as well, being transparent about the situation at hand

# data[].attributes.body
Our mission is to create a friendly and safe environment for our residents despite everything going on. This means following management protocols in order to make the residents feel secure so that they can enjoy their college experiences. We can track and measure success by talking with residents and evaluating their feedback. We are responsible for our duties as an RA but we should be understanding enough to help out each other when we need help.

# data[].attributes.body
Understand that RA's need private space to work as well; understanding we are all people first. Practicing empathy towards everyone! Being able to put for foot down, finding balance between empathy and accountability.

# data[].attributes.body
Open communication and being open-minded is key to being efficient as a staff and an individual. We should play to people's strengths and allow people to thrive while also remembering the common good.

Having open and honest communication from the beginning-providing expectations and boundaries is very important.
Having residents feel like they can tell you anything, but feeling like they have a right to privacy (feeling like their conversations are confidential)
Open to criticism, open to change.
Providing a way to give anonymous feedback.
Not being biased towards certain criticism.

We're the support system for our residents, to help them grow as people and find their place at the UA. Our fellow RAs are our most valuable partners. We are serving our residents; a support system makes them successful; having difficulty connecting with others on campus is a major obstacle to their success; Resources like CAPS, different options for connections, Campus Health, etc.

COVID

It may be more difficult to build connections with the residents and the rest of the staff. It will be hard to restrict residents from gathering in large social groups in an unsafe way. We understand, however, that residents really cherish the social interactions they have between each other. Open communication is critical and finding ways to best educate people on public heath.

# data[].attributes.body
Building an environment that residents can feel supported, even while being socially distant (providing community through continued interaction online), acting as first point of conflict resolution.
Understanding that residents will mirror you: the more open you'll be, the more open they'll be.

Our mission is to foster a friendly community for our residents while also maintaining the safety of everyone. SMART goals. RAs are responsible for interacting with residents, while CDs are responsible for upholding rules and managing the RAs.

# data[].attributes.body
Our teammates are the other RAs on our staff and elsewhere on campus. We develop by sharing ideas and providing feedback in a constructive way. We can depend on each other when learning new things and overcoming new challenges. Using our strengths to help each other.
UAPD: current cultural climate poses challenges, but anyway we can help with programming and communication to help build a good relationship.

Looking for people who compliment our strengths and weaknesses.
Develop:  A cohesive front in front of the residents (united)
Serving the residents and each other, making sure to make an inclusive environment. Also important to create a community for RA's to feel supported.
Limited physical interaction can be an obstacle, but finding an alternative to team building that is other wise done in person.
