 Alright, let's talk about RIC representatives. So you've probably heard about the opportunity to run to be an RIC representative, so I'm going to explain a little bit more about what that means, what is the commitment like, and what does it look like to run. So Residence Hill Interhold Congress is a group of student leaders that is there to advocate for the needs of the on-campus student. A part of that is there is a legislative body of representatives at one percent of every hall comes together on Monday nights at 7.30 and discusses the needs that students have brought to them. Sometimes that means a funding request that they talk about whether or not they want to approve or deny. Sometimes that means that there's an issue that they want to bring up and discuss. It just depends on what that body wants to discuss. A lot of times it looks like bills and legislation though. So they'll come together at 7.30 every Monday night and it's really their job to come with the student voice from their hall. So if, let's say Yocum presented a bill saying, hey, we want to put on this event, we need X amount of dollars and we think it's going to meet our student's needs in this way. The hot hall representative would then gather the student voice from their hall about that bill to make sure that their students, you know, students across campus really want money to be spent in this way. So a lot of times they talk to their lead hogs about this, they gather and put there. Sometimes they'll put an Instagram poll out there and it's their job to get the voice. So becoming one of these representatives happens pretty early in the year and it's a great opportunity to get plugged into the university and to get experienced as a leader. You will apply or you will fill out a form that is your intent to run and it's an interest form and this will just tell us what's your platform, why do you want to apply and that will then allow us to give you a timeline and give you more instructions. That form will be on HonkSync and then after that you will prepare a speech. It will be two minutes long and it will be recorded on Instagram live through your hall's Instagram page. Your whole RA advisors will let you know when and where to meet for that and how to record that. The next thing is your campaigning also happens during this time. So a little bit before your campaign speech you can hang posters, you can start posting on Instagram to share about your campaign and why you should be a representative. And then you have voting. So as soon as you campaign and then you give your speech the voting will begin. Your hall can vote. Anybody in your hall can vote. It doesn't have to be people just from lead hogs. And then that will conclude the next day and then the reps will be announced at your in-hall meeting and you'll be able to celebrate the fact that you have four awesome representatives and then they will then start representing you in RIC meetings. The first official RIC meeting is going to be on September 14th and that's when bills and legislation is going to start being read. So you can submit ideas and proposals for money before that. You can talk about that more with your RA advisors and your CRE advisors when you get to campus and start your lead hogs meetings. So that is a overview of RIC, RAC elections, rep elections. If you have any additional questions make sure you talk to your RA advisors and for all those of you thinking about running best of luck.
