Housing & Campus Life with Zoe

Transcript

We can’t wait for you to meet Zoe, a graduate student and senior resident assistant for campus housing. Shawnee State offers spacious apartment-style units, allowing students their individual space while still getting to know other students. With weekday and late night special events, athletic competitions, and a robust student organization roster, there’s always something for students to do. You are up, Zoe.

– Thanks, Alex. Hey, everyone. Growing up, I always knew that I wanted to help people. I remember tutoring my classmates in kindergarten, and now here I am earning my master’s in education. When it came to finding the right college, Shawnee State felt special. Hearing about the small class sizes, apartment-style dorms, and how exciting bingo was, had me convinced this is where I was going to go. Shawnee’s small class sizes have helped me make friends, and I love living on campus. Each apartment has its own kitchen, living room, bedrooms and bathrooms. Depending on where student lives, they either have a laundry room in their apartment or one within minutes walk. Students have the option to live in a single bedroom or a double as someone else. Overall, the style of housing this close to campus provides me with all the comforts I could ever need. Plus, getting involved here at SSU is easy. Over my five years on campus, I’ve been involved in the Delta Phi Epsilon Sorority, Delight and Cru Ministries, and I’ve been a resident assistant for the past three years. Through being an RA, I’ve worked all over campus, which has allowed me to meet a lot of great people. There are always events being held on campus, too, whether those are the monthly RA events or other organizations. My personal favorite event would be bingo, which is held by the Student Programming Board. Students have options to win prizes ranging from snacks to even a TV. Being involved in housing and campus life has made my college experience more engaging. I’ve had so many opportunities to grow as an individual and prepare for my future teaching career. That’s my story. Back to you, Alex.

– Thank you, Zoe. It sounds like you stay busy. Engaging in campus life is a big part of having a great college experience. Whether you live on campus or commute, there are opportunities for you to get involved at Shawnee State. Take care, Zoe.
