Want To Be A "CC"?

#4. Visit a CC in a residence hall and find out the steps (and benefits and responsibilities) in becoming a CC. Post info, answers to inquiry questions, and a photo on your blog.

For my Involvement Blog this week, I chose to complete and describe activity number four.  The question asks to visit a Community Coordinator in one of the residence halls on campus and find out the steps in becoming one.  Resident Hall Directors live in the Residence Halls and are responsible for students and activities in order to maintain a positive learning environment for all students.

I visited a Community Coordinator in Neff Residence Hall named Sarah Macone who lives on the second floor.  She is their floor leader and enjoys her experience as a Community Coordinator.  Sarah can help plan fun and exciting events for students in the dormitory to participate in.  For example, one day my friends and I painted pumpkins for Halloween.  We all had a great time and were able to take our pumpkins with us to decorate our dormitory rooms. 

Sarah told me that when a student becomes a Community Coordinator they would receive free room and board.  The Office of Residential Life offers employment opportunities for students, which will enhance leadership and communication skills.  Even though there are many benefits of being a Community Coordinator, there are also many responsibilities.  Sarah and the other Community Coordinators are responsible for the well being of each student as well as planning and organizing events.  After visiting with Sarah, it made me think about becoming a Community Coordinator next year.
