As a residence assistant in the CSULB dorms, one of your job tasks is to plan and host one event per semester that is open to all dorm residents. These activities range from magic shows to hikes to shopping trips, at all little to no cost. This semester, however, RA's have had a difficult time getting students to sign up for their events.
"I just don't understand why people aren't signing up for things," said RA Laura Jenkins. "It's really odd and frustrating."
The RA's have been speculating about why students haven't been signing up for events-- money issues, time constraints, etc. but one thing is certain, students are not getting involved like they used to. Some RAs have even complained that during dinner time sign ups, only one or two students total will sign up for their events, many of which are free to students.
This phenomenon has been putting a lot of anxiety on the RAs as well as the dorm coordinators, who are essentially in charge of the RAs. Many RAs are concerned about seeing a drop in their allotted budgets for these events if they can't get people to participate.
