Jennifer: Meeting with our Mentors

Hey there everyone,

I wanted to get some pictures up from our meal last Sunday.

We invited all 8 of our community mentors and their families - with that many people it was hard not to have a good time! The food was also delcious -a taco themed potluck! It was great to get everyone together for a while to encourage, support, and socialize. Ubuntu had the idea of community mentors before we landed the placement in RC. We were looking for a diverse (sex, department, etc.) group of faculty and staff who would help hold us accountable to our goals and to help us along our way. We also looked for people who may have had experience living in communities like this before. It was a tough process narrowing down our list but we eventually managed. This past Sunday was our first time to meet as a group and I know we all enjoyed it. I think we picked a good group - a couple even helped wash the multitudes of dishes! (Thanks a bunch!!) From here on out, our meals won't be quite as much of a production - only one or two mentors a meal! Can't wait!
