Living Coordinators

On Wednesday, January 18th, I was introduced to my On-Campus Leadership facilitators Marylyn Silverstein and Michael Hargrove. Marylyn introduced herself to the class as a living coordinator in the Jardine complex. She went over what her routinely tasks consist of, what responsibilities she has, and what daily work she must keep up with as a living coordinator. Although, after she got through all the formalities, Marylyn began to feel more relaxed and talk more about her personal life. For one, Marylyn adores cats. She has a passion for traveling and indulging in new cultures and traditions. Marylyn loves her job as a living coordinator because she can meet different people with a diverse set of backgrounds.

This was my first day with a new workshop group, so I was kind of nervous. Since this was the second day for this workshop to meet, it seemed everyone was already acquainted with each other. Although, we started the workshop with everyone giving a brief introduction about themselves. This made me feel a lot more comfortable and closer with the group. I learned a lot of interesting things about my new facilitators. Glen was born and raised from North Carolina. He described himself as a renaissance man; the way he introduced his lifestyle and hobbies to us that is the perfect way to describe him.

Quick action, immediate results, using humor to ease tension. Abiding to mundane rules feel tedious; I am bored with routine and structure. I advocate freedom and creativity rather than restrictive rules and policies. After careful consideration, I couldn’t agree more that this color fit my persona exactly. When the workshop was, over I told my RA, Chantelle Simon about what color I was assigned and what traits it held. Of course, she was not surprised one bit. Overall, my second day of the workshop went well. I got the opportunity to learn more about myself. I was introduced to some awesome, and interesting people in that class. I am extremely excited to see what the next workshops must offer, to learn more about myself, and spend time with other people who are passionate to become an
