What Happened In November?
HILLSIDE-HOJO C o m m u n i t y
What better way to get over a month of a hurricane AND a Snow storm then some warm thanksgiving food huh?! That’s right folks, this past month was our chance to gather ourselves together after that horrible Sandy and climb back on our grind as school slowly but surely reaches winter break.
As we all gave thanks to all that we are grateful for not all of our Pace Setters were able to travel home. With that said, I’d like to personally thank all of those who attended and were involved in planning the thanksgiving feast that took place in Butcher over our Thanksgiving break.
We had some lovely times during this past month of November and here is your chance to reminisce or catch up if you missed out on our Thanksgiving Month. Check it Out!
What went down in the month of the Turkey?
GOBBLE GOBBLE!
Our Residents of The Month for October Are…
Hojo: Lizzie Diaz & Michelle Delarue
Hillside: Daniel Duque
Congratulations To Our Residents of The Month!
RA Chantel & RA Sasha or “The Ladies of Hojo” had an awesome event called Sex In The Lounge. This Sex
education event allowed students to learn about STDs by trading candy that represented an STD. Be Safe!
RA JJ & RA Victoria or the “Season Vets” also had an event together where they discussed studying and
healthy eating habits that might actually save your life
RA Morgan also her own event where she allowed residents to get just a small taste of what an RA does
my having them make their own door tags!
RA Vickie also brought her “A” game when it came to sex this month! She educated the residents on some disturbing and sobering statistics that happen to be
true in a college environment!
RA Morgan & RA Nick or The “First Floor Fighters” also paired up to throw a Sex Education event Full of
Games such as Pin the boobs on the babe and pin the Junk on the Hunk! No Glove No Love!
Quote of the month:
“It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light.”
If you feel as though you are down or stressed, feel free to come knock on our RA doors, we are always here to talk.
RA Samara would like to give a BIG Thank You to all the residents who helped make her bulletin board beautiful. Valley residents filled out and decorated turkey feathers, writing what they are thankful for. For a reward, the residents received cookies to enjoy while making their feathers. The finish product was admired by many people who walked around the 2nd floor girls. A short poem was about being Thankful was also placed for residents to read and feel thankful.

CONGRATULATIONS to RA Megan and Hall
Council for winning the Halloween Door Decorating
contest. Thank you to all the valley residents who
took part in the haunted house. If it were not for your
participation and standing outside in the cold to scare
the judges, we would have not won.

After a slow start, the Dow Hall Council has gotten on a roll with events. They decorated
the Hall beautifully for the holidays with the help of residents Sara, Marco,
Christina, and others. Dow Hall glistens with holiday lights and
a countdown leading to the clock with 2013 across the
face. Check out our Hanukkah table and other decorations!
Keep Your Eyes Open for
Upcoming Events: • Classic Christmas Movie
Night in Pace Perk • Holiday Baking Contest • Holiday Door Decorating
Contest (with $10 Coldstone giftcard for the
winner!)
RD Report November started a bit roughly between the effects of the Hurricane and the snowstorm, but Dow Hall residents handled themselves well. I heard very few complaints and was impressed with how flexible everyone was. I want to thank all of our residents for participating in all of our events. You are the reason that they are successful! We hope to continue to make Dow Hall a better place to live.
Do you have ideas to improve Dow Hall? Do you like planning events and programs? Dow Hall Council needs YOU! If you are interested in becoming a Section Rep, come to our Hall Council Meeting on Tuesday nights at 10pm in the lobby to find out more!
With all of that said, no one had it
harder than a New Dorm Resident that
lost his entire home as a result of the
hurricane. The resident lives in central
Long Island which was one of the
most effected areas in New York.
To help out or resident and his family,
the New Dorm Staff hosted A Night of
Fun in Pace Perk that included activi-
ties such as pool, karaoke, bingo,
snow cones, and pop-corn. We were
able to raise almost $300 to donate to
the family.
Residents of New Dorm and other
Residence Halls in Briarcliff came out
and were highly supportive of the pro-
gram.
I think the residents and the Pace
Community in general realized how
fortunate we all are to have each
other in the time of crisis.
