West Area RA of the Month: September 2015

MANY congratulations to our West Area RA of the Month for September 2015: 
DASHAWN DILWORTH from Reese Hall. Keep up the great work! 

Here's what Hall Director Terrance Jagrup had to say about the awesome work that Dashawn is doing over in Reese: Dashawn has been a great addition to the Reese staff this year. He started the year with a burst of energy and lots of great ideas for the building and staff!  He is very involved on campus and holds several roles on campus such as: Student Director with New Family Programs, an Orientation Leader, and he’s a member of the Central Program Council here at UTK.  Dashawn has a love for diversity and inclusion, and has took the steps to get us started right.  As part of his responsibilities on the Diversity & Inclusion Committee, he coordinated and led the “Privilege Walk” activity with the staff on September 22nd.  It was quite an experience and a great bonding moment for us all.  Dashawn successfully completed his six week programs, and did a great job with them!  He held an open door night on week five, which allowed residents to get more acquainted with each other on the floor.  It was an indeed a huge success!  Dashawn also has a love for baking, where he baked muffins for his residents, just because!  Dashawn is overall a very jolly individual, who always has a smile on his face no matter what.  He is also always willing to lend a helping hand and step up to the plate when needed.  He’s very optimistic and sees the best in every situation.  I can say that he is on his way to be a great leader here at UT and in the community!
