During the month of August, Josh Yaeger has proved to be an excellent
addition to the Taylor Hall Council Executive Board. You would never
know that Josh has had no previous Hall Council or Exec Board
experience, because he has tackled his position like a pro. During
opening, Josh used his friendly and approachable personality to
encourage both new students and their families to buy Taylor Hall
t-shirts. Through his efforts, he helped sell almost 60 shirts in just
the first day. He was also both engaging and helpful as a desk
assistant, aiding the panther pals, new students, and families with
anything and everything they might need. For Taylor Hall’s opening Hall
Council program on August 21st, we staged a Murder Mystery, in which the
RA’s acted out a skit ending with one RA killing another. This program
would have been impossible if not for Josh. After discussing ideas and
plans, Josh took the initiative and single-handedly wrote the script for
the RA’s to follow. It was both effective in telling the story, and
absolutely hilarious. We had a turn-out of almost 50 students, and
thanks to Josh’s fabulous script, they got their fair share of laughs,
and hopefully had a great time. Josh has also begun work with the Lawson
vice-president on plans for our first Taylor-Lawson complex program,
Speed-Friending, scheduled for September 25th and we are very much
looking forward to a great LaTay program thanks to his hard work. I
can’t say enough about how great Josh is both as a person and a
vice-president. He makes it his number one priority to be kind and
friendly to everyone, whether he knows them or not, and that kind of
personality is exactly what we need on our exec board. He has been
nothing but helpful and welcoming to our brand new exec board, as well
as first time Hall Council attendees. Without him keeping the atmosphere
light hearted and fun, the first few weeks of preparation would have
been far less enjoyable. Josh has made such a difference just within the
first few weeks of school, and Taylor Hall is lucky to have him as our
vice president this year. Word Count: 365
