Q: How do you feel about becoming a CA?

A: I’m very excited! I think it’s going to be a wonderful experience for everyone involved. I’m excited to meet and interact with new people. It’s definitely going to be a quick change of pace, but nothing I can’t handle.

Q: What made you want to become a CA?

A: I’ve lived on campus for my entire undergrad career and some of the CAs I’ve had told me I would make a great CA, so I looked into it and thought it was a very lovely way to get involved on campus, and help others get involved as well. I love helping others, and college is scary especially at first, and now since COVID ruined the educational experience it’s even scarier, so I thought it would be nice to be able to help others and be someone to lean on.

Q: What are your plans as a CA for next semester?

A: I plan to help, to the best of my abilities, my residents grow and become more comfortable with the campus and everything involved here. I also hope to create a community where everyone feels welcome, safe, and supported.

Q: What do you hope to get out of this experience?

A: I hope to gain more of a sense of community within the residence halls and gain skills related to communication and teamwork – as those are important life skills. Overall, I’m not necessarily doing this for myself, but for others.

Q: What are you most excited for as a new CA?

A: I think I’m most excited to help everyone and have more of an impact and larger role on campus. I have a cute idea for door decs. Marshall House, be prepared.
