Spider Chats

Spider Chats provide RAs the opportunity to meet and connect with each of their residents individually to build a foundation of support. Each semester, RAs are required to facilitate at least one Spider Chat with each of their residents. Spider Chats will be expected to take place between Weeks 1 and 10 of both the Fall and Spring Semesters. The conversations should take place in a space that feels comfortable for both the resident and the RA (i.e. dining hall, lounge, residence hall room, library, etc.). Depending on the needs of a specific student or population, RAs may be requested to facilitate an additional Spider Chat throughout the semester to follow up with students or check-in with them.
