Community Building Rotation 2: Reese Hall

Reese Hall hosted a community builder to promote alcohol and substance abuse awareness to residents just as they are heading home for the holidays.

There is always a push for these CBs prior to fall and spring break, but I really think it is genius to do something around this time as residents are preparing to head back home, going to reunite with friends they haven't seen in a while, etc. I don't know if that was the intent behind having this type of community builder now, but I think it's great!

The Reese RAs invited Office Roach out to the loft to talk about the effects that alcohol can have on your judgement, vision, motor skills, etc. RAs had set up Mario Kart, Water Pong, as well as Flip Cup for residents to try both unimpaired and impaired by the drunk goggles.

Things I learned:
I do not like root beer.
How to play Flip Cup.
That it is nearly impossible to grab the cup in flip cup with the goggles on (I knocked it across the room once).
Mario Kart + drunk goggles will make you sick.

Residents really enjoyed socializing, learning, attempting, and just overall interacting in this CB, and I am very proud of all the Reese RAs involved!






Great job, Reese!

Until next time,
