Over the course of the spring semester, I have been conducting focus groups within our residential community. The goal of these sessions was to gather diverse perspectives from both residents and RAs, delving into their unique experiences and insights regarding the role of intentional interactions in fostering meaningful connections and enhancing the overall residential experience. Attached below is my written portion of the findings and suggestions for intentional interactions. While it's not a written masterpiece, I believe there are valuable takeaways for each residence life professional. I look forward to hearing your thoughts and engaging in a meaningful discussion on how we can continue to improve our residential communities. #ResidenceLife #HigherEd #StudentAffairs #CommunityBuilding #FocusGroups #IntentionalInteractions #StudentEngagement
