Rosemont Launches Collaborative Training with Villanova University
Rosemont College recently began its first Resident Assistant and Resident Director professional development series in partnership with Villanova University’s Student Affairs Department. Guest facilitators Sydney Scheiner and John Delaney led an interactive and inspiring session focused on leadership, communication, and conflict management. View the images of the training below.
Nine RAs and RDs participated in this training. Their feedback was outstanding:
- 100 percent found the training valuable to their professional development.
- 100 percent felt confident applying what they learned.
- 100 percent agreed that the content aligned with department goals.
