self-confidence, public speaking ability, and similar measures of self
reliance.
Students who live in residence halls report greater
satisfaction with their living environment than others. Much of this
satisfaction was due to greater contact with faculty and more opportunities.
Residence Hall Students generally have more time and
opportunities for involvement on campus and in the residence halls
themselves.
Programming is a large part of Residence Life activity. A
program is any event or activity that students may attend. The program theme
may be recreational, social, educational, cultural or even a fund raiser.
Students are encouraged to participate in planning and participating in the
actual event. LCSC Residence Life provides, quite literally, hundreds of
programs each year.
By being involved with events, you can further develop
your skills related to organization, responsibility, and interaction. Great
internal rewards occur when a student-presented activity is received well
from the student's peers.
