Please explain the outstanding contributions of the nominee during the month of nomination

Julie has been an outstanding asset to her floor community, 2nd floor, as well as to her hall, Marlatt, in the month of September. As a first year student, Julie applied to be a Community Assistant (CA), and was offered a position. Julie has been one of the most friendly faces at the front desk. She does an exceptional job serving students with a consistently positive attitude. Julie naturally connects extremely well with people, and as such has been an influencer in shaping the dynamics of our floor. As her Resident Assistant (RA), it has been wonderful to see Julie connect with a wide variety of students on our floor, as well as connect students to each other. She does an awesome job promoting floor and hall events, and our residents get excited about things that Julie is excited about. I consistently see Julie spending time in the lobby visiting with residents to help them get involved. Julie has been to every floor and hall program, and has participated on our floor intramurals team. One of Julie's greatest accomplishments has been as the Housing Ambassador for Marlatt Hall. This is a great accomplishment for a freshman student to even hold this position, and she has already done an amazing job organizing our hall tour team. In just one week, she worked with the RAs to compile a list of fifteen students who would be potential tour team members. Julie personally contacted each of those people, and has already recruited ten committed members. It is encouraging to see her excitement and enthusiasm for this project! Julie exemplifies what we look for in first year students - she has the desire to be involved, an unparalleled enthusiasm for her hall, and an ability to connect with students. She is very deserving of the First Year Student of the Month award!
