Day 14

     Today when I walked into the Clery Center I spoke with Abby and Amy. They wanted to me take lead on creating materials for an RA Board in college dorms. To help raise awareness and promote National Campus Safety Awareness Month. While also giving them tips and facts about what happens on campuses and how acts of violence can occur, even though you may not think that it could never happen to you. I find it very interesting because in all of my years living in the dorms I always saw the RA boards and I just thought that most of the time they made them up themselves. It did not occur to me that they might have taken ideas from another program that was created or from an established organization.
    So I spent the day working on gathering the materials that I would need to put in the PowerPoint presentation that I was creating. That way when RA's open it up all the materials will be available to do them. The board will already be set up for them, all they would have to do is print out the slides and arrange them on the board how they saw fit. I feel that this will be beneficial to me because this is just one of the many ways to reach and help students. Even if it is not directly communicating with them and handing them the information. One single student may see a statistic or a tip to help get out of violent or uncomfortable situation on this RA board and it could save their life. If I can help reach one person/ student that's more then I could even do in a lifetime.
