Life Professional Answers:
Hello
from Bowling Green State University!
How to motivate RAs? That's a question that
professional staff struggles with all of the time.
Personally, I try to motivate on a one-on-one basis.
I get to know my RAs and do things that will make
them happy depending on their likes and dislikes.
I put candy in their boxes, little notes for a job
well done, and toys that fit their personalities.
At the beginning of the spring semester, I review
the goals and objectives that they had set at the
beginning of the fall semester and do a LOT of teambuilding.
I have 11 RAs in 2 buildings, so they like that time
to see each other.
Good luck!
