This was a leadership role I was eligible for after completing my role as a Residence Advisor the year prior. Served on a Leadership Team to support Residence Advisors with their duties. Had 15 office hours per week to work on projects, create useful bulletin boards for my Academic Success portfolio, and put on dynamic large-scale residence-wide events for the 3600 students that lived on campus. Some events were collaborated on with a team of five while others were hosted individually. Had other duties as well, ranging from attending leadership training conferences such as SOAR (held at Carleton), to working on university events with other campus partners. The total workload amounted to around 25 hours per week in conjunction with a full-time course load.

Developed and facilitated recreation programs for children aged three to seventeen. Worked on a small team to create new programs that would appeal to a varied audience each week.
