Reference Card and Gameshow

A lot was accomplished today! Since I was gone all day yesterday, I just started mocking up the reference card with the information Tim gave me on Monday. With the information I had, I was able to knock it out in a couple hours. I sent it to Lee and he liked it so much that he asked if a new copy could be made for his RAs. After looking at all the information, I determined that a different card should be made for the RAs because they have a little more authority than the Links do. A couple other things will take priority before I actually look at reworking the card.

Once we had a mock-up of the card, Tim and I went to work on editing the PowerPoint for the game show. A couple of policies have changed so we needed the slides to reflect that. It was kind of slow going. I had read the policies beforehand but I had a lot of questions on why things the way they were. Although I'm sure they have a specific procedure to follow when doing this, I can tell Brian and Tim have a good amount of authority to change the policies when things come up. Tim told me that any policy changes usually happen as a result of a student doing something wrong. Even though it was an entire revision of the policy, there were a bunch of steps to go through when editing the social function policy for Greek Life at Western Illinois. We barely made it through the first two sets of slides and there is still one left and we have questions to replace. We'll have to get them tomorrow. I also experienced my first Residence Life Staff meeting. Once again, the staff get a lot done in a meeting and cover a lot of topics but it is a lot of fun being in the room with all of them together!
