Building Futures

"We cannot build our own future without helping others to build theirs."
-Bill Clinton


Hall council has always been a highlight of this job for me. I love working with student leaders. My hall council executive board this year has been so motivated and so awesome. They've put together some amazing programs and they've done awesome things and I am SO PROUD of them. I wish they understood exactly how proud I am. It has been an absolute pleasure advising them this semester and I couldn't imagine this year without them.

We mustache you a question, oui?

We've laughed, we've made fools of ourselves...we've come together and done awesome things. They've done so well in the hall of the semester competition and even led for a better part of this semester, which in a hall that stereotypically doesn't participate in KIC events, is phenomenal.

We had so many events this year...a time capsule opening with the time capsule from the Stopher Hall class of 1993 that got departmental recognition and was part of the official homecoming events at Kent State. We had a healthy food party where students got to eat healthy snacks and learn about healthy food options on campus. We put together finals care packages for the residents of our building. We had an awesome Festival of Nations booth where people could come take pictures with the "Eiffel Tower" and we had one of the most popular booths at the event! And so much more including a well-attended event last month AND an awesome collaboration with the RA staff for Little Sibs weekend last weekend.

In addition to putting together an AWESOME hall of the year bid packet which, in my biased but humble opinion, should have won.

I am so so SO proud of my hall council and my co-advising team. We've had an awesome year and I'm going to miss all of them so much. I see bigger and better things in all of their futures and I'm so happy that I got to be there for at least one small part of seeing them grow as student leaders within the hall and within the Kent State community. I hope I've helped them in some way shape or form, because I know they've helped me to be so much better than who I was. I have a better future in front of me because of my experiences with them.

I hope they understand how much they have truly meant to me.
