After two years of working in University Housing and Dining Services as a team member to the Community Relations Facilitators, I\u2019m sad to announce that I\u2019m saying goodbye to the UHDS family. I\u2019m not leaving empty handed though. Throughout these past two years I can definitely say that I\u2019ve grown so much personally as well as in our position.<\/p>\n
Being a CRF has really given me confidence in my self-expression. I\u2019ve learned that sometimes it\u2019s more beneficial to our awareness when we take a step outside our comfort zone and challenge people\u2019s point of views in order to educate. I\u2019ve also learned that challenging someone\u2019s point of view doesn\u2019t necessarily mean that you\u2019re trying to pick a fight or that things will end badly. It can get uncomfortable, but as I\u2019ve come to realize, those uncomfortable moments are sometimes when the most learning takes place.<\/p>\n
In addition, I\u2019ve enjoyed all the new relationships that have been built over the last two years. We\u2019ve been able to spend time with RA\u2019s, RD\u2019s, the staff at the cultural, resource centers, Team Liberation, and many others. I\u2019ve made connections that I know wouldn\u2019t have been so easily made without my position and I appreciate the opportunity.<\/p>\n
Thanks to everybody who supported our program in one-way or another. It was a fun two years and I wish the best of luck to Victor and Kevin and the rest of the CRF team. Again, thank you for your continued support of the CRF program.<\/p>\n
