Programming • Why do we program? Because we are looking to build community. We use it as a tool to bring people together to interact in meaningful ways.

Program Requirements • All student staff must contribute to one traditional program in their area. This program may count towards the six-program minimum. • A traditional program is usually executed as a staff and is repeated each year. Some examples of traditional programs are; MASA’s Halloween carnival, RHA’s ResLife week, Peer Mentor’s shindig, and South’s speak easy.
Program Requirements • All student staff must plan and implement a recurring program for their specific community. This program may count towards the six-program minimum at Pro-Staff’s discretion. • A recurring program is one that is repeated multiple times in a semester. Some examples of a recurring program are; sundaes on Sundays, workout Wednesdays, monthly study nights, etc.
