What I'm thankful for LSU Res Life

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you are enjoying some good food with good company. As the holiday season moves in, I am constantly reminded of how much I have to be grateful for.

This week is a Thanksgiving  blog focused on all the wonderful people who make living on campus great!

Resident Assistants (RA's):  RA's work hard for the entire school year to provide residents with events, safety, and some much needed advice. They work late nights and through breaks, holidays, and football games. Thanks for all you do!

Residential Hall Custodians:   Residents often form special bonds with their community's staff of custodians who keep the halls sparkling clean everyday. They  have great attitudes and genuine care for the residents and the facilities.  With friendly hellos and good mornings, they greet students and visitors with a smile.

Desk Assistants (DA's): DA's are student workers who work the front desks in the residence halls 24/7. Whenever a hall is open, a front desk is open as well. DA's work through nights, weekends, and breaks, so we can always find help, (or misplaced keys) when we need it!

Facility Services: With 17 residence halls and 2 apartments on campus, things are bound to happen. Facility Services always responds promptly to any concerns and fixes problems as fast as possible to keep the buildings in tip top shape.

Res Life IT Help Desk: Did you know LSU Res Life has an IT support desk just for on campus residents? Whether you need help connecting to the Internet, installing new software, or fixing a problem, they're available to help.They have helped me (err... my computer) countless times to keep it up and running.

Residence Hall Association (RHA): The new flat screen in Herget? Splatterbeat? Snowin' in the South? Yep, you guessed it, it's all put on by your RHA staff! RHA is comprised of on-campus students who plan activities and advocate for the needs of residents.  Have ideas or concerns for your community? Contact your floor rep to have your voice heard.

Residents: It wouldn't be Res Life if it weren't comprised of all of the amazing residents. Thank you for creating this incredible environment, and making on-campus living fun and memorable. For all of the late nights, the friends, and the support-- you put the residence in to Residential Life!

Hope you have a relaxing and food-filled break! See you back on campus for dead week (a week dedicated to concentrated study) and finals! HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
