Programming

Perhaps the key component of the FYE program in Montgomery Hall is community development. A program is a session organized by our RA Staff for their residents. These sessions are designed and planned not only for the residents' enjoyment, but also to help educate them and make them familiar with Lynchburg College. Programs revolve around the Wellness Wheel which covers the following areas: Campus Awareness, Professional Development, Involvement, Community Interaction, Social, Life Planning, Sexual, Community Service, Spiritual, Intellectual, Financial, Diversity Awareness, Physical, and Character/Integrity.

The Resident Assistant staff will work with each floor to plan programs that draw upon and expand the interests of their residents. This is also a great opportunity for Montgomery Hall residents to take ownership and leadership on their floor by assisting their RA with the planning of programs and designing of floor bulletin boards.

This past year, the Montgomery Hall staff developed the Monthly Mont Dinner program in which the staff cooked for the entire building on the last Sunday of every month. This was a great opportunity for residents to interact with those from other floors as well as have a home cooked meal. This program will continue to be a vital community development effort within Montgomery Hall.

Also, in efforts to keep our first year student entertained, the Weekend Series is an effective way for students to have fun and meet people on Friday and Saturday nights. The RA staff plans these evenings to assure that the Montgomery Hall residents have something fun to do on these nights. These programs have included many movie nights and a dance party.
