RA Floor Placement Procedure

TO: 1999-2000 Bender Hall RA Staff

FROM: Brian Steinberg
Bender Hall Coordinator

DATE: April 2, 1999

RE: Spring Training and WELCOME!

It is my pleasure to welcome you to the Bender Hall RA Staff for the 1999-2000 year.

Spring Training is on Friday and Saturday, April 9 and 10 we will meet at 4:30 p.m. in my apartment (Bender 121) to kick off training. Please bring your student ID with you, even if you don't have a weekend meal option. Dress for training is casual.

You will most likely be informed of your floor placement after Spring Training. To assist me in this process, please take a few minutes to fill out the enclosed form and tell me about the type of environment that would interest you. I am asking for information about the floors from current RA's and will try to mesh you into the type of atmosphere that best suits you. Please return this form to me by Saturday April 10. Hint: campus mail has been known to be extremely slow, so you should hand deliver the form to Bender.

Once again, I'm glad to have you on staff for next year. If I can answer any questions, don't hesitate to call x3-7679.
