The opportunities in the residence halls are plentiful!  It’s never a dull moment on-campus or in the halls.  Whenever one of my students in my IDS 110 class (freshmen orientation course) say they are bored and there is nothing to do, I laugh!

One of the largest student organizations here at Missouri State is the Residence Hall Association (RHA). RHA is involved in issues that can touch the 4000 on-campus residents. I have asked this year’s President of RHA, Todd Euglow, to talk to us today. Take it away Todd!

Today we are fortunate to have Dr. Art Spisak as a guest blogger!  Dr. Spisak is the Director of the Missouri State Honors College.  I asked Dr. Spisak to speak about our Honors College for our incoming students….Here’s Dr. Art Spisak!

The Sweet Sixteen has begun, but that’s not it.  Spring Break–it could be, but that’s about done.  Everyone should be coming back from the Break soon…..what could it be?

We mailed out information this week to our incoming students about an exciting living option we offer at Missouri State.  This will be our second full year of offering Living-Learning Communities or LLC.

I have been talking a lot about reapplication–having our current students sign up for their living space next year.  Well it is winding down and almost complete!  So far we are up about 60 residents over last year! 

Everyone is eagerly awaiting their chance to submit their contract to live on-campus for the upcoming 09-10 academic year!  Normally we would have mailed our information packets out to our incoming class by now, but we are making some exciting changes that are delaying our mailing.

We are making some exciting new changes for the 2009 – 10 academic year!!  I know several people have been inquiring about when they are going to be receiving their Housing information…well it is almost done!  These changes are causing us to think in a whole new direction and changing our processes drastically!
