It's move-in day at Naropa and our faculty and staff are stationed at Snowlion and 2333 Arapahoe to welcome new students to campus. In between moving boxes and directing traffic, we ran into Haley Wilson, a Resident Advisor (RA) studying Religion Studies and Contemplative Education at Naropa. Haley was kind enough to take a few minutes to answer five burning questions: What do Resident Advisors do at Naropa? RA's exist to foster a sense of community by creating connections between students. We facilitate events, help students adjust to college life, and serve as connectors to the University community. What's the best part of being an RA? Getting to know students and trying to help them have a good experience at Naropa. What advice do you have for incoming students? Get out of our comfort zone as soon as possible. Start meeting new people and getting involved at Naropa today. One easy way to do this is to attend the new student brunch at 2333 Araphahoe on Sunday, September 3rd. This will be a great opportunity to meet fellow students, faculty, and staff. What are some of the features of this brand-new facility? 2333 Arapahoe is the newest living learning community on campus. It houses 28 students and was designed to foster a sense of community. There's a communal kitchen, and several meetings spaces - including a balcony with amazing views of the Flatirons - throughout. It's also an eco-friendly building, complete with an electric car charging station in the parking lot. If anyone is interested in a tour, please contact housing@naropa.edu to arrange one. Our new student dormitory is finished and ready for move-in tomorrow; we can't wait for our new and returning students to arrive! #naropians #dormlife #boulder #orientation #backtoschool #colorado #meditationroom #community #flatironviews Via @nomali: "#solareclipse #shadows #bouldercolorado we got only 93% but it was still #amazing" UPDATE! Thanks to your generous support, we just reached our fundraising goal of realizing smart technology for the Center for Culture, Identity and Social Justice! We still have a few days left, let’s keep the momentum going in support of the center and it’s important work on campus!
