Hello and welcome to the official wing blog for 1502A. I am your RC, Robyn, but there will periodically be some updates and posts from our wing liaison Gabi as well (she's far more technologically gifted than I am). This is where I'll be putting updates about the programs and activities that we'll be doing for each month, so you'll know a bit of what to expect.
While you're here, here are a few important things for you to know:

Here's what we'll be doing this month! In an effort to get to better know your Upperclassmen & RC, we'll be doing an Upperclassmen Advice program, where they can offer their wisdom & tips they wish they'd known when they were Sophomores, as well as an RC in a Fishbowl type of program, where the students can get to know me a bit better. When we're in-person, I usually buy treats for everyone for my birthday (which is this Friday) but since we can't do that, I'm hoping to figure something else fun out for you all :) We'll also be doing a planning & organization program to start off the year right. As the year starts virtually, communication and organization are key to succeeding. In our planning program, occurring on August 27th, you will learn how to write a proper email to your teachers, and learn about the numerous ways to keep track of your hectic school lives. Our wing will be exposed to digital planning with Trello, physical planning, and bullet journals. Using a planner, students can also keep track of their home lives and chores, balancing home and school, while using a bullet journal, students can stay creative and have fun while still working hard. Hopefully it'll help you find a good & productive way to keep track of all of your new IMSA responsibilities, and more.
If you have any questions or would ever like to reach out, feel free to send me an email!

P.S. Since you may be wondering -- our hall "theme" this year is Out 2 Eat, so I have affectionately started referring to our hall as 150Chew! (If you didn't already think I was an odd one, I'm sure you do now :)
