This community builder had a town hall setup. Joe invited hall director Richie Kenney, the two SGA Senators representing Hess Hall, and Joe spoke from the RA prospective. Residents raised concerns or questions that they had about living in Hess Hall, and the panel provided insight into possible solutions or ways to address these concerns.
The residents were very engaged in this discussion, and the suggestions were very interesting. They ranged from the very silly: "Hess doesn't smell good." to the very important: "How can we work to use the wasted/discarded food from campus facilities for the betterment of the Knoxville community?"
The Senators had good ideas for bills to draft during the spring homework, Richie was given ideas for general building improvement. Joe was an excellent facilitator, and was very understanding and welcoming of all suggestions.
He even provided pigs in a blanket for attendees. They were heavenly.
Great job on a successful community builder, Joe!
