Pearl and the Plunger

Hey all!


Sam here! We have a lot to catch up on since the last post that mi amigo Johnny did. I realize that the title is a little "weird" per say but I promise it makes sense later!


Training. Today was a blast. We created our team cheer so get excited for that. It is pretty freakin awesome if I might say! Next we had a session with Brennan Meadows who is the Director of Student Activities.  This session was really fun for us since we got to hang out with Brennan and chat about the fun things that there are to do on campus (There is sooooo SO MUCH!!)  Anyways one tool that might be useful for you all is the Involvement Network. The IN (Ironic that the acronym is IN for involvement network) is a place where you can find information about and join the organizations we have on campus.  So make yourself a profile, find what organizations are a good fit to you and get more information on them! Its really easy, trust me! 
After our session with Brennan we met with Steven who is the counselor on campus. He is soo easy to talk to and is really brilliant. He is a great resource for all students even if there is no apparent "struggle" in their life. 


Our next session was with Campus Safety. We have some pretty awesome officers here! I mean all we did during our session was laugh and joke around. There are some pretty cool things that you all should know about Campus Safety. 

1. They are really fun.
1. Even though they are all super nice and can joke around with students it is important to remember that they do have a job to do.
2. Safe Walk
1. If you would feel more comfortable being accompanied while walking anywhere on campus give them a jingle and they can do that!
3. Crime Prevention Series
1. Free Food!!
2. Hanging out with Campus Safety 
3. Learning how to protect yourself from crime.
4. 303-256-9500
1. The Campus Safety Phone Number 
2. PUT IT IN YOUR PHONE 
5. They really are there if you need anything
1. They may not plunge your toilet for you but they will bring you the plunger!
6. Pearl
1. They drive a white Prius (her name is Pearl) so be sure to wave to them if you see them driving Pearl.
2. Sometimes they have to dive after people that drive on our sidewalks (I can't explain that one...) and even though they try they can not "chase" after the people because they drive a Prius.....

When all is said and done we have awesome Campus Safety!!! So if you are ever in need of anything do not be afraid to ask them for help! They will generally say yes with a bright smile!
