Our student population loves videos. On most days, at least one of the RAs will stop in and ask “have you seen this video?” They’ll pull it up, we’ll watch and laugh/cry/cringe/or fill in this _____ with whatever reaction is appropriate.
So, we wanted to appeal to their interests during RA Training this year. Over the summer, we decided that we wanted to utilize different forms of media into our training of RAs on confrontation. With the rise of popularity of YouTube, we thought we’d make some videos of staged “incidents” and show how confrontation could be handled in a good or bad manner.
So, we grabbed a few summer residents, a video camera and this is the result. Follow this link to a playlist of those videos on our YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/PolicyWG#p/c/DE0A9AA17792559C/4/5p0OALzFZgo
Many thanks to the following people who made this happen: Jarrett Tate, Ginny Brady, Anna Magliolo, Drew Wagstaff, Dan Schrader, Leigh Nevill, Shemika Harris, Evan Hillyer and Brent Owens. We’ll certainly accept ideas for future videos.
