Lets Try It Out! Group 1 You have a student conduct meeting with Adam to discuss an alleged alcohol violation. There is very little evidence in this case, but you believe that Adam is responsible. Adam comes across as very charming, and you strongly believe that he is lying to you throughout the meeting. Group 2 You supervise Bonnie, a first year RA who is struggling in the position. Bonnie excels in her relationships with her residents and building community, but struggles and is confused when following duty and administrative protocol. Group 3 While on duty, you respond to a call to help handle a situation with Carl, who is violating Quiet Hours at 4am on a Tuesday morning with very loud music. Carl refuses to listen to staff, and does not understand why he should have to turn his music down. 1.What Student Development Theories apply in this situation? 2.How can you utilize these theories to address this situation?

Slide 67

Lets Try It Out! Group 1 You advise Hall Council, and the group is struggling to perform. The President, Evan, won the position due to popularity, but doesnt put the work in to fulfill his duties. He is also dismissive of any ideas that the other members have. Group 2 A student, Faith, comes to see you about a roommate conflict. She is concerned because her roommate violates policy on a regular basis. She doesnt feel comfortable talking to her roommate about the issue and wants a room change. Group 3 You supervise Greg, who believes that he isnt succeeding in his RA position because you dont like him and favor other staff members. When you have a concern about him performance, he always has an excuse for whatever the issue is. 1.What Student Development Theories apply in this situation? 2.How can you utilize these theories to address this situation?
