  4. Helping Students get Involved on Campus • Types of Involvement • Socially via clubs, sports, hall events, etc. • Academically via job placement, internships, mentorships • Spiritually via religious life, Campus ministry opportunities, prayer groups • Student jobs on campus can provide community too • Dining halls, various offices around campus, campus mail, athletics, etc.

  7. Case Study Example • It’s Wednesday night at 11:00 p.m. and you are about to sit down with your hall staff for a weekly meeting. As you begin your meeting, holding back the yawns that come with a late night meeting, you begin to discuss various topics and floor reports. As the meeting approaches its end, now close to midnight, you ask if anyone else has any questions or concerns they may have. As you look around at your hall staff you notice one of your RA’s raise her hand. She begins to discuss her concern for a resident who seems to be keeping to herself, many times staying in on the weekends reading a variety of cookbooks and watching reruns of FRIENDS. She is concerned that we are not doing a good enough job at educating ourselves and our residents on what groups are available to them to join, and what events on campus should receive greater advertisement on our part. If you were the rector in this situation, how would you point your RA and community members to encourage and utilize student involvement?
