VICTORY!!!!
I AM RCA PRESIDENT!
All Campus Sing this afternoon was great. 17 groups with a varied degree of musical ability competed on the steps of Lovett Auditorium while a large chunk of the University spread out across the Quad. The weather was warm, the sky clear, and just enough wind blew to keep us all cool. Thanks to everyone who may or may not be reading this from the University. Ya'll did a great job performing and were a pretty good audience, too.
And THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH TO EVERYONE WHO VOTED!
For those of you who don't know, the Residential College Association (RCA) is a collection of representatives from every Residential College. The Residential College system is modelled after schools like Oxford, where classes are held in the residence halls, faculty and commuters still belong to their individual colleges, and each college has its own unique niche. At Murray State they're not so well defined, mainly because there's only 10,000 of us (as compared to the 30,000+ at most schools on this system) and our RC's are not divided according to major, class, or any other common grounds. Still, the Residence Halls are more than just dorms, and they have potential to be a lot more even than they are now. We are finally starting to have classes in them, a tradition I hope will grow as the campus grows.
Anyway, RCA works with Housing and the SGA to ensure that the Residential Colleges are living up to their full potential. It's had a tendancy to lean toward the Residence Hall / Dorm mentality, but I hope that I can stretch it past that.
I'm pretty ambitious about next year. I hope I can pull of just a few of the dozens of ideas that're floating around my head.
Wow.
I still don't believe I won.
Tiff took me to a celebration dinner at Cracker Barrel. That was tasty. She's been great to have by my side through this, and did more for my campaign than I did.
Blair, if for some reason you come across this blog, you ran a great race. You're still a member of NRHH and several other organizations on campus, so I'm sure I haven't seen the last of you. I hope we can work together this fall.
Everyone else at Murray State, thanks again. I hope I make next year a memorable one.
