West Side RA of the Month for January - Lindsey Marlin!

Congratulations to the West Side RA of the Month, Lindsey Marlin!


Let's hear what Lindsey's nominator, South Carrick Hall Director Amanda Koch, had to say about her:

I would like to nominate Lindsey Marlin for West Area RA of the Month for the month of January. For the month of January, Lindsey has gone above and beyond in many of her job duties. Seeing as we have 4 new RAs on the South Carrick Staff, Lindsey has done an exceptional job helping those new RAs transition into the new position, new staff, and new responsibilities. She puts in extra time behind the desk showing them procedures, going on hallwalks with them, and helping them when they have questions.

She has also gone above requirements in door decorations and bulletin boards. For January, she cut snowmen and individually hand colored each snowman for each resident, giving each resident their own unique snowman. She also hand-cut several components of her bulletin board.

Finally, Lindsey has been available to her residents, especially in one particular case of solving a semester-long roommate conflict. She met with each resident countless times, trying several solutions, and once a solution was determined, she went beyond her duties to make sure the residents were okay with the solution, even when one resident was no longer a resident of her floor.

Here are some photos of Lindsey's creative efforts on her floor:

Super cute snowmen door decs.

Congratulations to Lindsey, Sara, Jonathan, and Chris!
