Painting Memories with Residents
Home / Bulldog Living / Welcoming Residents with a Splash!
Move-in days can be a whirlwind of emotions – the excitement of new beginnings, the rush of settling in, and the anticipation of the academic year ahead. But amidst all the hustle, FS Student Housing ensured there was a splash of color and creativity for its residents.
On August 19th, the Atrium Lawn transformed into an artist’s haven as the “Get Crafty” event unfolded. Designed with a special purpose in mind, this event wasn’t just about painting and decorating; it was about bonding with new roommates over shared creativity.
Residents had a delightful array of items to choose from: plant pots for those looking to add a touch of green to their rooms, tote bags for the eco-conscious shopper, coasters to ensure no coffee spill goes unattended, and other treasures waiting to be transformed with strokes of paint. Not only did these crafted items serve as a vibrant addition to their new homes, but they also became memorabilia of the first memories created with roommates.
But “Get Crafty” was more than just brushes and colors. It was a gateway for residents to mingle and meet key members of the FS Student Housing community. The event provided an opportunity to connect with RDs, RAs, PSAs, and other staff, ensuring that residents felt integrated and at home from the outset.
This artful gathering was one of the many events happening over the weekend from the 17th to the 20th of August. These events, carefully curated by FS Student Housing, aimed to foster a sense of community, allowing residents to meet new people and lay the foundation for a supportive living environment.
As tradition dictates, “Get Crafty” graces the FS Student Housing calendar every year, marking the celebratory spirit of move-in day. It’s a testament to the belief that while academic pursuits are paramount, the memories created outside the classroom are equally invaluable.
For all the residents who joined in, their hand-painted items will serve as a daily reminder of the beginning of their journey at FS Student Housing. And for those gearing up for the next year, the canvases await your creativity! Here’s to another year of learning, growing, and painting memories together.
