MONTHLY
FEATURE
This
month’s feature section is actually an update. If
you have been a regular user of the site, you have
probably noted that there has not been a lot of material
added to the site recently. Well, I’ve finally begun
the process of entering in the MANY MANY programs
and resources you all have submitted over the past
several months. Here’s what’s new on the site: - PROGRAMS!
- Over 50 new programs and bulletin board ideas (not
including the bulletin board files… see below) and
growing… check back soon, I have over 150 more to
add! - BULLETIN BOARDS - 20 New READY MADE Bulletin
Boards!! – These are great time-savers. Designed in
either Microsoft Word or Microsoft Publisher, these
are bulletin boards others have taken the time to
submit to the site. - CHAT AND MESSAGE BOARDS! – Finally,
I’ve added chat to the website, along with a new message
board format. Be sure to check it out! I think it
will be a great way to improve community among residence
life staff all over! - More coming soon! – This week,
you will see more changes to the site, and you will
see more changes in the weeks to come. Please feel
free to email me your suggestions and comments (contact
page ) See what's new by going to: http://www.residentassistant.com/whatsnew.htm
