Farewell Bulletin Board for Departing RA Staff Submitted by LaMont Johnson, Assistant Community Manager for Residence Life, University of Louisville Properties Okay, we all know the cliche' "saying goodbye is the hardest thing to do," but there is so much truth to that statement. At the end of the academic year it is tradition that I do a "farewell" bulletin board in honor of the departing senior/graduate RA staff.  Usually it has a TV theme to it.   The name of our building is Bettie Johnson Hall (A 490 bed student apartment facility on the University of Louisville campus). Last year it was a very emotional time leading up to graduation for the Bettie Johnson Hall staff.  I was losing 7 of the best and the brightest Resident Advisors I have ever had on my staff.  I put up this bulletin board (see next slide) in the main foyer of the building to dedicate to these wonderful RAs.  We were teary-eyed all week (literally) because we had been through a lot together.  Now these special seniors were sprouting their wings, soaring into the real world with their respective careers and starting new lives.  I am very proud of them because this was a very special group.  Here we are fittingly. Neat huh?   (see next slide)…
