- Favorite Res Life Memory: Moving furniture into the new buildings for 10-12 hours a day and playing in the rain with a bonfire afterwards, during the RA
retreat.

know Him better. Res Life is my life (when I’m not studying).
- What the residents of my building can expect this year: As RSA I intend to really try to help the RAs pour into their girls. I’m excited to help with
events and get to know more girls through being RSA. It’s going to be a great year to live on campus in the Quads!

studies.

Resident Advisor, Hurt 1
- Favorite Res Life Memory: I loved the Easter egg hunt in the Bowld! It was so fun! I also have enjoyed each of the individual moments I have gotten to have
with my girls, they are such a blessing.
- What I’m all about: One of my goals in life is to never stop learning. I pray I will always have a teachable spirit. Being an RA has taught me so much
about being a servant leader and what that looks like. I want for the Word to be glorified in all thins that I do.
- What the residents of my building can expect this year: An awesome year! They can expect hanging out and getting to know one another much better. They can also expect having someone they can call at any moment if they need anything at all.

"hanging" out in my hammock reading and journaling.
- What the residents of my building can expect this year: To have fun and learn about themselves, and to connect with their building and build community.
Cari Phillips ‘12
Resident Advisor, Ayers 2
- Favorite Res Life Memory: I can't narrow it down to just one, but probably the many adventures in the commons my freshman year.
- What I’m all about: I absolutely, positively love children. I want to be a missionary over-seas with tons of little adopted kids.
- What the residents of my building can expect this year: I hope they can expect to be loved, welcomed, and really pumped about Union! They'll at least learn to
understand someone who talks fast...hopefully.
Briana Rauls ‘11
Resident Advisor, Hope 2
- Favorite Res Life Memory: The summer before my freshman year it did not rain in Jackson for 2 months straight. When it finally did rain, me, my roommates, and
the girls next door to us went outside and danced in the rain.
- What I’m all about: I love Jesus with my whole heart and am pretty much sold out for the Gospel of Jesus Christ. God has changed my life and made me
realize that nothing in life is more important than having a relationship with Him. I love basketball and hanging out with friends. I love to just sit down and talk with people.
-
- What the residents of my building can expect this year: They can expect me to be their biggest fan and always encourage them. I will be there for them no
matter what and I will do my best to make sure their Res Life experience is the best!

late at night, reading and watching documentaries on human rights.
- What the residents of my building can expect this year: A fun-filled year of learning more about the Lord, more about each other and how to live for His glory.
