Reason: Amanda has done such a great job with the Resident Assistant position. She's showed so much enthusiasm and strength while managing her floor, work, and school. Amanda's had a tough semester with some family health issues and has kept up her hard work and determination to be excellent at her job. She gets residents involved in programs, both her own and campus/complex. She's professional and fun at the same time. I believe Amanda is most deserving of this award for the month of December.

Reason: Amanda Cashman is basically amazing. She takes the mundane and turns her creative gears to make boring information something you will pay attention to. She is constantly looking for new, fun ways to do things. She made a song about blue cards, c'mon, who would think to do that?? She is so approachable that anyone could feel comfortable talking with her about anything. Cash is a great advisor, amazing leader, and she is just plain fun to be on staff with.

Reason: Steve should receive spotlight of the month for so many reasons. This week alone he has dealt with so many issues that without him, life for the residents would be a lot worse. There was a water problem in Snarr South and Steve was there to make sure it was taken care of in a timely and professional manner. He helped RHA with the Halloween Bash by ordering the new signs that were placed outside each event and getting the tables and chairs ordered for the event. He insured that the new signs had stands and that the parking lot signs were posted the day of the event. He even went above and beyond by actually attending the event to insure all was well. He deserves this honor more than any one this month for just what he has done this one week.

Reason: I believe that RHA should receive Community Service program of the month for its annual Halloween Bash. They have been throwing the bash for ten years now and it has gotten bigger and better every year. This event has provided a safe place for children to trick or treat and has definitely become a part of the community. It brings so many different University departments together with community businesses and non-profits. It is what I would call community service at its finest.

Reason: I believe “Paint a Bowl for Dorothy Day” should receive the honor of community service program of the month. It brought two great organizations together (MSUM RHA and FMDDHH) for a common cause, the cause of raising money for the mission of serving the homeless and hungry. The volunteers that helped out, by painting the bowls, really got the sense of giving back to the community and Dorothy Day made over $2500.00 from the sales at their annual soup supper. This event was so great for both our campus and the people served at the Dorothy Day House and Food Pantry. It deserves the honor of community service program of the month for September.

The end of the year party ended up being a success and I know a lot of people had fun there. Overall, I think that James has done an amazing job as president all year. He has been there for all of the residents in NGH and makes sure that their needs and wants are met. He also attends RHA every week and makes sure that our complex is up to date with what is going on with RHA too! I feel that James is really deserving of this award and I hope that you will consider hi, for Aprils Exec board member of the month!

Date Submitted: 4/15/2008 11:24:22 AM
Reason: I Believe that Kody Krautkremer should be Resident Assistant of the month because he has Volunteered his time and efforts for many programs like the RA Auction and the Dating game and even Dragons after dark. Kody, this month has also has had many programs like a volleyball game to get kids outside again. Kody is the person that will drop everything he is doing and will help you in a heartbeat. I have never seen him not try his very best on any given task. He also has the best community that I have seen ever, and I have been here for three years. His residents look up to him as a role model and a best friend and as a fellow staff member I do the same. He also gets all his work done in a timely manner and always reminds other staff members of programs that are going around campus so we can get residents involved. Kody also has lots of time commitments around campus like working the intramural desk to help kids keep playing sports and he is also co-caption of the MSUM rugby team. Even with his prior commitments he still finds time to watch movies and build puzzles with his residents. He is the perfect RA and I believe that he should be RA of the month.

Reason: Thirsty Thursday was an amazing program that provided an alternative to drinking on a Thursday night. Held in the CMU ballroom, the night was a hit. So many people were there that the program had to shut down early because they ran out everything. The master mind behind it, Jeff Corrow, had this program fully organized and budgeted down to the last dime. He did a great job and this should definitely be recognized as the Program of the Month for March

Reason: I feel that Kody should be RA of the month because how ridiculously amazing he has built his floor. He has made a floor that is always fun to hangout on and where everyone feels welcome. Kody does a lot on campus and I believe he needs to be recognized for that. Kody works for the intramural office which pretty much takes up every night of the week. If he isn’t working the office he is playing on an intramural team. If he isn’t in intramurals he is at rugby practice. He is now the president of the rugby team and gets even more work put his way. He also led students to many athletic events wearing face paint and carrying flags. With all these things going on, Kody has done a great job creating the best floor to live on and still trying to be a student.

Date Submitted: 3/31/2008 9:11:55 AM
Reason: I would like to nominate Bethany for outstanding student of the month. She has really proven that she is an extremely important asset to our halls. She is involved in her hall government as well as RHA. She attends every meeting ready for whatever it is we are going to tackle. She also helps promote our programs and brings her friends with her. Beth is a rep for Dahl Hall and is always at the RHA meeting on time with a positive attitude. Not only that, but she is extremely easy to work with and has an open mind. This month Beth has helped so much with promoting out programs, going to them to represent her hall, and being an “active” member of RHA. Every organization has those people that come to the meetings, sit at the meetings, and leave the meetings not contributing to the organization. For us Beth is the opposite of that and is truly an outstanding student to work with. Even though she isn’t on an executive board now, my hopes for her are to become an executive board member in the future and I believe she will succeed easily. Bethany fits the criteria to a T and truly deserves this award.

Reason: I believe that RHA's spring 2008 Casino night should recieve program of the month as a social and community service program. The goal of the event was to give our residents a chance to give back to the community while having fun and winning prizes on a normally drab saturday night. The program brought out 51 residents and 2 huge boxes of donations for the Fargo-Moorhead Dorothy Day House of Hospitality. It was truely an amazing event that will occur again in the future, with what we hope to be more residents and students attending. This is why i believe that Casino Night should get program of the month.

Reason: I think Thirsty Thursday should be program of the month for March because it brought out a lot of people who seemed to enjoy themselves. Everyone was getting involved from the root-beer pong, root-beer floats, condom poker and the movies that were being shown in the other room. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves and having a good time. I think this event was mostly a social event but could be seen as educational to an extent because of the condoms that people were winning (Safe Sex). Overall, I think this was a nice Thursday night activity for people to get involved, relax, and wind down for the weekend.

The guys are always hanging out with eachother and I often see them eating in Kise with one another. They are great when it comes to attending floor programs. I was really impressed last month when they got together and made their floor mascot, a huge llama. They worked really well together and the outcome was amazing. Overall, the residents of this floor really deserve recognition for how far they have come as a floor. Awesome Job Guys!!!!

Reason: Yvonne works in Kise at the middle station. (She is the one with the really long braid). In my three years at MSUM, she has always been such a cheerful Sodexho employee. She is always willing to help students out and ALWAYS has a smile on her face. For example, when there was no sandwich line one night, she made me a special sandwich. I thought it was so outstanding that she was so willing to go out of her way to please a resident. A lot of the Kise workers seem like they don't really enjoy their jobs but Yvonne really looks like she enjoys her work. I don't think the Kise environment would be the same with out Yvonne's chipper personality. She should definitley be NRHH'S January Spotlight OTM!

Reason: Jordan was just elected NGH treasurer in January and wow, has he really improved the NGH hall council financial process! We had some trouble last semester with returning receipts and Jordan created a receipt policy stating that if you do not return a receipt within two weeks of allocating the money, you lose you allocating privelages and need floor representatives to get money for you the rest of the semester. I thought that was an awesome idea, and so far, it has been an effective policy. Jordan also emails the RA's and keeps them up to date with how much money they have remaining in their floor accounts. Overall, he has just done an amazing job being NGH hall council treasurer and definitley exceeded my expectations! Great Job Jordan!

Reason: Liz is such an amazing Resident Assistant. She always has her door open and is a really approachable person. All of her residents really look up to her and have a lot respect for her. She is also always willing to lend a hand. At last month's Sex & Pizza, Liz volunteered right away to help Josey out. Overall, she has been a great RA since day one this year and I feel that a lot of her hard work goes unrecognized. Liz would make a perfect January OTM winner!

Nominate Email: krautkko@mnstate.edu
Date Submitted: 2/5/2008 3:49:45 PM
Reason: Lane is a great asset to his floor. While participating on the MSUM Wrestling team Lane still finds time to socialize with his neighbors and friends. A few days ago a toothpaste spill was discovered in the hallway. I had asked Lane where it came from and who was responsible for it. He had just entered the hallway and was unsure. I told him I planned to wake up everyone on the floor until someone claimed to the mess. Being about 2:00am Lane told me he would clean it. I came out of the bathroom minutes later to see a clean floor. Lane is a great guy and an even better resident. He deserves to be Student of the month.

Nominate Email: fogjos@mnstate.edu
Date Submitted: 2/4/2008 11:38:53 PM
Reason: I believe Laura Glassman should be RA of the month because of how amazing of an RA she really is. I think Laura doesn’t give herself enough credit for all she does. I believe she is a leader and people follow her because she treats everyone with respect and courtesy. I see her at every big program and is always willing to help with them. She helped with Dragons After Dark and is always at them, supporting them. She is always willing to get involved in smaller projects and even spend her time running and getting pizza’s for someone else’s program. She is very focused on her school work. Sometimes we pick on her to get her to come to programs or basketball games and not study (all in good fun) but truthfully I feel she does more than her fair share of work and supporting. Laura also brings an awesomeness to staff meetings and makes even the little things seem like they are supper fun. There is so much more I could say about Laura so I just want to say, I know she has a lot to worry about with having grad school in the future, her RA job, a boyfriend miles away, Minnesota State issues, making it to CRU and Church and dealing Kody and I picking on her when she wants to study so I feel she should definitely be RA of the month.

Date Submitted: 2/4/2008 11:12:23 PM
Reason: I believe Brianna should be student of the month because she is the kind of resident an RA hopes to have on their floor. She is a good student, is a lot of fun to have on the floor and makes the right decisions even though they are tough to make. She can definitely dish out jokes and can take them and just laugh and have fun. She sometimes makes round around the floor saying hi to everyone and keeping the floor upbeat. Studies seem to be important to her but she also (but not all the time) goes out to campus events and supports our school. I enjoy having Brianna on 3rd Grantham and think she portrays what students in the dorms should be like.

Reason: Steph is my RA this year and she has been one of the most important people involved in my freshman year. She has a few rather difficult residents on her floor and she has been able to handle everything they have put her through, on top of being ill many times. I really love and respect her and I think that she of all RA's deserves this honor. Please consider her for RA of the month for March! Thanks!

Reason: Lawrence is an amazing RA. Lawrence is someone that can say hi to everyone while he walks to class. He does a lot of programs and they’re really cool. It’s really cool to see someone putting on a lot of programs with diversity as the main purpose. I went to one of his programs in the beginning of the year and he had around 50-60 people show up. Lawrence is also always at the desk and never really complains about his work. Overall from what I have seen, Lawrence has a great relationship with his residents, staff members and works hard in school and as an RA.

Reason: Dragons After Dark has been very successful at getting residents and even non residents to participate in an on campus program. More recently they have had a huge success with holding it over in Nemzek and including athletics in the mix of the evenings activities. It seemed to draw a different crowd of people and everyone seemed to enjoy it. I think that this program is definatly deserving of the program OTM because month after month it seems to be successful and the DAD committee has put in so much time and effort in planning and carrying out the plan and every single person deserves tons of recognition for all of the hard work they have done and continue to do. You all are AMAZING and DAD pretty much Rocks!!!
