During my third week of my internship, I had the incredible opportunity to combine two of my on-campus roles in a meaningful way. As an RA, one of our responsibilities is to plan events for our residents throughout the semester. However, I noticed that these events weren’t being promoted on any official campus social media channels.

With my internship in the Marketing Department, I saw the perfect opportunity to bridge this gap! Two fellow RAs and I were organizing the S’mores Fun event at the Stetson Oaks Apartments, and after discussing the idea with Morgan, she gave me the chance to share more about it on our Instagram stories.

I created a series of fun and engaging stories that not only promoted the event but also gave students a behind-the-scenes look at what RAs do on campus. This experience was a great way to enhance my storytelling skills while also highlighting the amazing work we do as RAs.

It was exciting to see how marketing and student life can come together to create more awareness and engagement on campus!
