When it comes to being a part of a staff, Julia is an extraordinary team player. She has stepped up to take 'duty' when other staff have asked her to do so. In addition, she has been an active part of staff socials. She attended the 'non-mandatory' staff dinner on September 13th. When an fellow RA was not feeling well, and was sick in the women's bathroom of the library, Julia was notified and came to her rescue immediately on September 17th. Julia helped her fellow RA get back to Boyd Hall immediately, and called for additional assistance. She puts other people first, and that has really shown through during the month of September. In addition, she was one of the few that attended a staff cookie social event on September 26th. Finally, she wanted the staff to get together, so she orchestrated a 'trip to Starbucks' event after the staff meeting on September 29th. Over 1/3 of the staff went with her in an effort to socialize and take a break from studying.

Julia has been extraordinary at building community during September. On September 8, she had a "One Resourceful Cookie" program to educate her residents on academic resources across campus. She held a sweatpants forum for her residents, in order to decide what floor gear they wanted. She has had several spontaneous programs that have stretched from sand volleyball at the rec to watching a movie in her room. Not only has she built a strong community on her floor, but she planned two complex-wide programs over the course of the month. "Nacho Mama's Mixer" was a program designed to educate women on the dangers of alcohol and sexual assault. As an educational program, Julia orchestrated the publicity, music, and snacks for the event. She went above and beyond in helping the program be successful. Over 50 women showed up, and they all walked away being able to make more educated decisions. In addition, Julia orchestrated a "Staff Hunt" program, which occurred on September 29th. Part of the advertising was t-shirts for the staff to wear on the day of the event. Julia spent all day on September 26th getting the items ready for the t-shirts and making them. She was instrumental in its success, and over 30 residents attended the program. In addition to the programs, she has orchestrated study groups with residents in Putnam and Boyd hall, in an effort to role model positive academic behavior.

When it comes to managing crisis situations, Julia has spent countless hours problem solving. From September 9-September 14, Julia worked with a student who has Bipolar disorder, anxiety/depression, and self-harms. This student spent over 10 hours talking with Julia about how college has made her issues more challenging. Julia was great at caring for the student and making sure that she was getting the help that she needed. In addition, Julia has been working with at least 2 roommate conflicts to make sure that students are able to co- exist together. She was also woken up twice to deal with severe intoxication problems on her floor. Julia has balanced these situations and has made sure to take time for herself as they would arise.

Julia has been an extremely hard working RA during September. She has exceeded our expectations and has done a remarkable job.
