But, better late than never to blog about this awesome community builder, right?! Right.
This time I attended a program in South Carrick Hall put on by the lovely 10th floor RA, Kristin Samples. It was titled BYOB--{Bring Your Own Bowl}--and was her unique spin on an open door night. I didn't follow directions though, and I didn't bring a bowl. Not to worry, Kristin had spares! Huzzah!
Kristin held the program at 10:00 PM. She went around and knocked on all of her suite doors to see who was home. When they answered the door and agreed to participate in the program, she let each suite pick out a different box of cereal. The idea was that residents would migrate from suite to suite in search of their favorite cereal, and meet other residents along the way! Kristin provided the milk in her room, and she provided all types--skim, 2%, almond milk, soy milk, literally anything anyone could have wanted. Residents began with just cereal, but by the end of the night, they were sharing birthday cake, decorating ideas, and more. It was very neat to see the conversation progress throughout the night. In all, Kristin had 19 residents participate, with at least one person from 9 out of her 12 suites!
Check out some of the fun below.
