Intentional Conversations are one of the easiest ways to get to know your residents' goals and aspirations short and long term. Having a scheduled one on one conversation with residents gives them a sense of belonging in the community. I also find intentional conversations as a good opportunity to inform residents about who you are and how you can help them throughout the academic year. My favorite part in doing intentional conversations would be suggesting resources on campus for residents to utilize in order for them to work on their interests.
