For the month of May, I would like to nominate an incredible and
outstanding Residential Community for an of the month at Southern Oregon
University, the Outdoor Adventure Leadership community. The Outdoor
Adventure Leadership is a unique community based on the student's desire
to connect with nature, get involved with the outdoor program, and
participate in programming based on the outdoors. This community is run
by two fantastic Resident Assistant's that are both very passionate
about the outdoor program and participating in outdoor programs with
their residents. It is my pleasure to nominate this community for an OTM
this month based on their unique and beneficial programming, their
fantastic Resident Assistant support, and the wonderful community and
environment on campus as a whole. First of all, the Outdoor Adventure Leadership community has
participated in some amazing and unique programs in the last month that
deserve mentioning. First of all, all of the programming has been around
Outdoor Adventure Leadership and the outdoor program at Southern Oregon
University. This community has done programming around mountain biking,
slack lining, hiking, swimming and many other outdoor related
activities. The amount of programming that has taken place relating to
the outdoors has really showed a community passion and involvement with
the outdoors and what this particular residence community is all about.
In addition to that, the programming for this community always takes
place outside, rain or shine to ensure that the residents of this
community are able to enjoy the outdoors and participate in what they're
most passionate about. The most recent program that has taken place in
the month of May was a tie dye program that took place out on the lawn
outside the residence hall. This program gave the residents a chance to
participate in numerous outdoor activities and games and to enjoy the
outdoors during the program. I think this program went well and it was a
joy to see the residents of this community get involved that way. Another strong aspect of this community that gives the Outdoor Adventure
Leadership community a strong foundation is the support of the excellent
Resident Assistants, Jon and Mariah. Jon and Mariah have been such a
positive support and benefit to the residents living in the Outdoor
Adventure Leadership community this year. One of the best qualities that
both of these Resident Assistants possess is their love of the outdoors
and all of their passions for outdoor activities. In addition to their
love of the outdoors, Jon and Mariah both always find time to hang out
with their residents on a one on one basis and to participate in
activities that they and their residents enjoy. All in all, the Outdoor Adventure Leadership community is an excellent
on campus community that has flourished on campus this year. Not only
does their wonderful programming and RA support help out this community,
but as a whole, the residents themselves have created a positive and
successful community as a whole. Residents are not afraid to contribute
their own positive ideas for programming and bonding in this community.
I have enjoyed seeing the Outdoor Adventure Leadership community grow
into the community it has become. Word Count: 528
