We have decide to change up the format of our weekly #SAChat review. Because, ya know, we gotta spice things up sometimes. Happy Friday!
MOD Q1 – Now that orientation has passed, have you noticed a drop off in participation or energy on campus? What areas?#SAChat
Q1: Honestly, maybe the first to lose energy are pros…we've been vibrating at high level for over a month. Cannot sustain. #sachat

A1: RAs can be exhausted after training and orientation on top of each other. How do they take personal time AND help residents? #sachat

MOD Q3 (a) – In your role, how can or how have you support(ed) student leaders who seem to be losing steam? #SAChat
Q3: Had to have a heart to heart convo just the other day…Org Prezs are often sensitive, they see participation drop off too #sachat

A3: my favorite thing to say is: just because you can do it all doen't mean you aren't overwhelmed. Be careful with your time. #sachat

MOD Q3 (b) – How can you support colleagues or yourself when the hype and “newness” of the semester die down? #SAChat
A3b. I know for me, I focus on how I can get "hype" in my building, and I look for ways to continue the excitement. #sachat
— Jacob C. Haun™ (@VitaminJSays) September 15, 2016
Q3b: In conduct, its after the hype that the reports start pouring in. Our office has a hobby requirement. Self-care is important! #SAchat

MOD Q4 – What co-programming tips can you offer to help keep energy up and stress down? #SAChat
A4: conversation/discussion-based programming. It's minimal, engaging, and well, it isn't a powerpoint or prezi. #sachat
— Jacob Gross (@jcbgrss) September 15, 2016
@The_SA_Blog Parther with people similarly motivated: don't drag someone down, don;t expect a person to come up to you. #sachat

MOD Q5 – When it comes to Orientation Leaders, (how) do you keep them engaged throughout the semester? #sachat
A5: Some continue on as peer-to-peer social mentors, others are invited to volunteer with future orientation days during AY. #SAchat

A5: As an OL we had a committee within the group that planned activities throughout the semester and into the summer for all of us #sachat
