Harry Potter Greets
Ohio Students
Trying to harness the magic of Harry
Potter's community, Tyler Mullins,
a resident assistant and sophomore
civil engineering major at The Ohio
State University in Columbus,
worked with his co-RA Abby Ward to
design an interactive floor opening
theme. In response to more than
16,000 views of his IMGUR, an
online sharing community, Mullins
sheepishly admits he never expected
so much attention outside of his
residents. "Many of our residents
grew up reading and watching the
Harry Potter books and movies, so
it was very easy for them to connect
with the floor theme and feel at
home. Alongside the decorations, we
also hosted a 'House Cup' during the
semester that rewarded residents for
attending programs, joining student
organizations, and doing well in
classes, among other things. That
proved very successful, so much so
that we are doing it again for this
coming semester." Mullins says it
took him around 40 hours to set
everything up.
''
We're hopeful
that our
results help
practitioners
understand
how their
good and
hard work
is positively
influencing
students...

Protecting the Herd
An undetected norovirus outbreak that sickened more than 200 students helped wellness services and
residence staff at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada, realize that they needed to enhance
their disease surveillance protocol. They implemented Residence Wellness Alert, an automated
symptom-tracking and disease outbreak notification system. Students are encouraged to report
symptoms using a secure portal accessed via their smart phone or institution website. Upon consent
to share personal health information, they complete a short symptom screen. Designated staff see the
symptom reports and residence location in real time. Therefore, staff are able to react in real time and
decide if cleaning operations need to be enhanced or if visitors to the affected area need to be limited.
For more information about the Residence Wellness Alert, visit http://telask.com/services/residencewellness-alert.
