FROM: Brian Steinberg Bender Hall Coordinator
DATE: April 2, 1999
RE: Spring Training and WELCOME! It is my pleasure to welcome you to the Bender Hall RA Staff for the 1999-2000
year.
Spring Training is on Friday and Saturday, April 9 and 10 we will meet at 4:30 p.m.
in my apartment (Bender 121) to kick off training. Please bring your student ID
with you, even if you don't have a weekend meal option. Dress for training is casual.
You will most likely be informed of your floor placement after Spring Training. To
assist me in this process, please take a few minutes to fill out the enclosed form and
tell me about the type of environment that would interest you. I am asking for
information about the floors from current RA's and will try to mesh you into the
type of atmosphere that best suits you. Please return this form to me by Saturday
April 10. Hint: campus mail has been known to be extremely slow, so you should
hand deliver the form to Bender.
Once again, I'm glad to have you on staff for next year. If I can answer any
questions, don't hesitate to call x3-7679.
