The program is very simple really. All it consist of is
raking leaves and having a dinner together. Here at my
school each freshman dorm/floor has a faculty mentor and
we invited him to participate. This gave the residents a
chance to get to know their mentor on a more personal
level.
Instructions/Things Needed:
You will need:
-rakes
-lawn and leaf bag
-gloves
***All of the materials were borrowed
from the grounds crew on campus (Maintenance) You will
also need to either order food for dinner, or have
one of your residents make it. I had one of my residents
prepare the meal. After an hour or so of raking and
cleaning up the ground we had a delicious meal together.
Other Considerations:
I honestly didn't think that I could get my entire dorm
to participate in the project. But with the proper
advertising it was a complete success. Also if you do
not have a dorm mentor program at your school, try to
find a professor that be willing to participate.
