Hot Cocoa for Health – Wednesday, October 25^th, 7-9pm, Main Lobby

With the (hopeful) transition to cool weather we will be handing out hot cocoa and further information about the other services that the Preston Center offers.  We will also be covering relevant health topics such as flu season, healthy living tips, etc. 

Goal of Program: October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and this program will be held to bring awareness about breast cancer. The RAs along with the Hall Director will be making pink pancakes, dying strips of the girls hair pink, and providing pink hearts for the girls to fill out. The girls can write individuals names down that are survivors or who have passed away of breast cancer. The hearts will then be hung in the lobby for the remainder of the academic year.

Meredith’s REP is “Connect with ME” and the monthly theme for October is “Get Connected with Myself.” We will be handing out informational sheets about checking yourself for lumps and it will also provide additional information about Breast Cancer throughout the month of October.

Project Success- Monday’s and Tuesday’s- 8pm-10pm

Resident will be encouraged to come and study with other residents. Unfortunately, the residents aren’t allowed to talk, because this is a two hour study sessions. Light Snacks will be provided.  We are striving to increase our GPA’s.

Residents will be able to participate in this program where they will complete in a Magic tournament. The Magic card game is very popular with the residents. By participating in this tournament will give McCormack residents the opportunity to meet other residents who play Magic. RAs will also offer “training” session on how to play Magic before the tournament, so that everyone in the hall has the opportunity to participate. Some snacks and drinks may be provided.
