Good morning, everyone!
Today's post will be dedicated to sending you off to your winter break! I know many of you have your only finals today and then will be heading home for the holiday. I hope you find it very restful and refreshing! We will see you when you return in January.
To those of you that are graduating, best of luck in your future endeavors!
If you have any questions in the coming weeks about the move-out process or room change process for your Landing apartment, please feel free to contact me at kolkmeierk@uncw.edu.
Until January 2011...

Thursday's Thanks
Good morning, everyone!
This week, we're sending our Thurday's Thanks out to 3 people. However, all three of these people have two things in common:
1. They are graduating in December.
2. They are currently desk receptionists in the Landing.
We went to send a big Landing Thursday's Thanks to Danielle Smith, Brittany Creech and Jarod Blakeman for all of their service to the Landing! We will miss your smiling faces next semester and very much appreciate all the hard work you put in helping the residents of the Landing every week!
Best of luck in your next chapter in life!

I Can Transform Ya...
Good morning, everyone!
Welcome back from Thanksgiving break! I hope it was nice and relaxing for each of you.
I want to make you aware of a leadership opportunity on campus that can transform ya! Many of you interact with people in this leadership basis on a regular basis and have been impacted by the ways they help your experience here as a student. This leadership position is the Resident Assistant position.
The Resident Assistant is responsible for an on-campus residential floor, wing, pod, building, or area. The Resident Assistant serves as a facilitator to encourage a positive and welcoming, healthy and safe, cooperative and considerate living environment. The RA is expected to help build a strong, inclusive community by initiating and organizing floor, wing, pod or hall activities and programs. The RA serves as an information resource for the campus and residence hall. The RA also serves to assist with the personal and academic concerns of the resident and to help manage conflicts that may arise in the residential area. Therefore, an RA is expected to be a person who cares about their residents and continuously strives to make the residence hall a valuable and educational place to live.
The responsibilities of the Resident Assistant are numerous and varied. The following is a representative list of Resident Assistant responsibilities.
I hope that some of you will consider applying. Click here for much more information and the link to the application. Also, feel free to contact the Landing Residence Coordinator at kolkmeierk@uncw.edu if you'd like to set up a meeting to talk more about the RA position!

Winter Transition
Good morning, everyone!
Happy last day of classes before Thanksgiving break!
As many of you know, we are headed into a period known as Winter Transition. This is the period of time when many students will be moving out because they are graduating, transferring, withdrawing, have an internship in another city, etc. Others will be moving out because they are moving to another apartment in the Landing, Crossing, or Village. For all of these students, it is very important that they are aware of the procedures involved with the transition period.
There is now a bulletin board posted in the Seahawk Landing office which contains a lot of information that any student who will be moving for any reason will need. Come check it out!
Also, be on the lookout for an upcoming winter transition meeting with your RA to take place one day next week.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Until after break...

Thursday's Thanks
This week's Thursday's Thanks goes out to the team of individuals who take care of the grounds here at the Landing! Have you ever noticed that the landscaping always looks nice and things are taken care of around here without you even having to notice? Well, that's because of the hard work that the physical plant staff does around UNCW and specifically the Landing to keep things looking nice for us!
You may not appreciate it as much now, but wait until you have your own home and have to rake leaves, clean gutters, plant flowers, clean the pool, etc. all for yourself!
If you see the grounds team around this week, say thanks!!!
Until next time...

Local Hot Spots
Good morning, everyone!
This morning's post is all about a local hot spot here in Wilmington. I hope you all have been to this location, but if not it is a must! The post below was written by Landing RA Josh Harcus on his personal blog.
Flaming Amy’s Burrito Barn has been a very beloved place for me. I have been here many times! The out side of the building has a far out slight resemblance of a barn. But along the walk inside the magic starts to happen. The edgy atmosphere of the place makes it become more than a burrito place. There is memorabilia all over the walls. Pictures and fun things to look at while you wait, because if you go during rush… you will wait. As you get closer and the murmurs of the crowd gets louder with anticipation you can see some parts of the menu written across the wall. The wall as many different sayings like “leave your attitude at the door” or “attitude free, good service costs extra”.
By the time you reach the cash register, the gate-keeper of ordering, there are about 7 or 8 choices of burritos that are lit up along the back wall. “Double bacon cheese burgitto” has to be my favorite. Very dangerous for the heart, arteries and such; but man is it delicious! The secret sauce that has been protected for centuries, also known as “thousand island”, this sauce brings the whole burrito together in perfect delicious harmony that excites and calms the taste buds at the same time.
There are many other choices that can entertain and satisfy any customer. Vegetarian, “tortilla-less”, meat-lovers, anything a little heart could desire. So next time you are wanting that fun, exciting experience head to Flamin’ Amy’s!
Until next time...

Thursday's Thanks
Good morning, everyone!
We're back for another Thursday's Thanks this week! This week we'd like to say thanks to a member of the Housing and Residence Life staff! James Coston is a part of our maintenance team here in HRL and was a part of the team of staff who went through the Landing apartments on Tuesday for Health & Safety inspections.
James brought a positive attitude to the experience and was very helpful and resourceful to the graduate and student staff with which he was working! James helped to take what can be a difficult task and helped to make it seem manageable!
So a big Thursday's Thanks to James for his positive attitude and hard work this past week here in the Landing! Our staff and area greatly appreciate you!

Witty Wednesday
Hey everyone,
It has been brought to my attention that you'd all like to see some humor here on the blog. That, I can do!
I have also realized that many of you are quite stressed right now with the end of the semester slowly creeping toward us. For that reason, today's post will purely be dedicated to some jokes! Enjoy!
Q: Why did the blonde tip-toe past the medicine cabinet?
A: So she wouldn't wake up the sleeping pills.
TEACHER: John, how do you spell "crocodile?"
JOHN:"K-R-O-K-O-A-D-I-L"
TEACHER: NO, that's wrong.
JOHN: Maybe it is, but you asked me how I spell it!
A man goes to the hospital and tells the doctor he can't do chores around the house like he used to. "What's wrong with me", he asks? The doctor replies "after many tests we determined there is nothing wrong with you, just laziness". "Great, now what is the medical term for that so I can tell my wife?"

Thursday's Thanks
Good morning, everyone!
This Thursday's Thanks goes to someone that you may not see very often during the day, but if you're walking around the Landing at night- you're almost sure to see him!
This Thursday's Thanks goes out to Officer Hodge of the UNCW Police Department. Officer Hodge is our Police and Community Networking (PAC'N) officer for the Landing. He does rounds with the RAs at night, meet with me to hear about issues occurring in the Landing, and just gets out to meet students whenever possible.
We appreciate all the work Officer Hodge puts in to helping keep the Landing safe and educate our residents about their own safety and security! A big Thursday's Thanks to Officer Hodge from all of us here in the Landing!

Green Team
Good morning, everyone!
Have you ever wondered who is responsible for emptying all of the blue recycling bins in the residential areas? Well, the answer is students like you!
In the Fall of 2008 the Housing and Residence Life Green Team was formed. The Green Team is made up of students who have taken on the responsibility of operating the recycling program in the residential facilities. These student workers are managing the daily operations of a growing recycling program as well as assisting in educational programming regarding environmental sustainability. The Green Team has worked to make recycling as easy as possible for residential students through the use of creative and clear signage, keeping containers emptied regularly, and promoting the overall positive effect that recycling can have on our campus community and beyond.
Look for a community-wide program coming your way soon where you'll be able to make/decorate your own recycling container and you'll learn much more from the Green Team about recycling practices!
Until next time...

Have you ever wondered who is responsible for emptying all of the blue recycling bins in the residential areas? Well, the answer is students like you!
In the Fall of 2008 the Housing and Residence Life Green Team was formed. The Green Team is made up of students who have taken on the responsibility of operating the recycling program in the residential facilities. These student workers are managing the daily operations of a growing recycling program as well as assisting in educational programming regarding environmental sustainability.

Coastal Therapeutic Riding Program
Good morning, everyone!
I want to take some time this morning to share with you all about a service initiative that is being started here on UNCW's campus. The Housing and Residence Life office has started a service project called My Teal Hands. This is a program geared toward getting residential students at UNCW out into the community doing service work with our teal hands. Each residential area has selected a different group to work with for the year.
Here in the Landing we have selected the Coastal Therapeutic Riding Program. CTRP is a non-profit program, teaching therapeutic and recreational horseback riding to children and adults with special needs.
It is our hope to get many of you involved with this service initiative as well. Look for more information coming soon from your RA. If you'd like to hear more about the program, feel free to drop by my office any time and speak with me about it!
Until next time...

Thursday's Thanks
Good morning, everyone!
This week for our Thursday's Thanks we're going to recognize one of our very own Seahawk Landing residents! Graduate Assistant Tyler Millard will be our recipient this week!
Last week, Tyler and his father volunteered their time and talent to play a show out on the Landing Seal for all of the Landing residents. Many residents stopped by on their way to the sandwich shop to listen in, opened their bedroom windows to enjoy the show from their window, and I even saw Cornerstone residents open their windows to listen in to the music.
Tyler has also taken time out of his busy graduate schedule to attend programs, socials, and Area Chapter celebrations to add to his active involvement in the community of the Seahawk Landing! So a big Thursday Thanks to Tyler for all he does here in the Landing and for a great show last Thursday!!
Until next time...

Thursday's Thanks
Good morning, everyone!
I have decided to move our weekly recognition to Thursdays and call it Thursday's Thanks instead. Don't forget that if you'd like to nominate someone, just send their name and brief paragraph about why'd you like to thank them to kolkmeierk@uncw.edu
This week we will recognize our Seahawk Landing locksmith, Ed Meyland. What many of you don't know is that Ed spends many hours a day changing the locks here in the Landing when someone loses a key or the lock becomes jammed for any reason. Many days, he is in and out of the Landing multiple times. Ed always meets our staff with a smile and has built a strong working relationship with our staff! It is so nice to see such a positive impact in our community! Thanks for everything you do, Ed!

Bike Safety
Good morning!
I have seen quite a few of you around campus and around the Landing riding your bicycles. That's why I want to take some time out today to talk about bike safety and etiquette.
It is important to know that you do not have the right-of-way at a crosswalk when you're on your bike. In order to have the right-of-way, you must dismount from your bike or skateboard and then walk across the crosswalk. If you were ever hit by a car when crossing the crosswalk on your bike or skateboard, you would be at fault. The crosswalk is for walking, not riding. You are considered a moving vehicle when riding a bike or skateboard. You could also receive a citation from the UNCW Police if they see you riding across a crosswalk when you do not have the right-of-way.
Also important to know is that it's mandatory for you to register your bike with the UNCW police department. This is mandatory for your of well-being. If your bike is ever stolen and the police find it, they will be able to return it based on the registration for your bike. You can register your bike 24 hours a day at the UNCW police department.
Finally, make sure you are parking your bikes on the bike racks and not on trees or light posts. Proper bike lock-up is on the racks provided for you and not any other piece of university property.
If you ever have any questions, please free to ask me or a UNCW police officer.
Until next time...

If you ever have any questions, please free to ask me or a UNCW police officer.
Until next time...

One in Four
Good morning!
I want to let you know of an organizatio on campus which is exclusively for men. One in Four is a all-male organization dedicated both to promoting men’s health and healthy sexually, and to ending violence against women. The group consists of UNCW men from all walks of life who believe that every man should define masculinity for himself, rather than allowing masculine stereotypes to dictate his choices and behaviors. We are currently recruiting new members for our Spring Training class. If you want more information or would like to get involved, contact Adam Tate at tatea@uncw.edu.
I hope some of you will consider contacting the organization about becoming involved with this important organization!
Yesterday's post was for the ladies and today's post is for the gentlemen of the Landing!

For the Ladies: RAD
Good morning, everyone!
Today's post is for the ladies and tomorrow will be a post for the gentlemen.
For the ladies today, I'll share information about a program done through the UNCW Police Department. The UNCW Police Department offers RAD classes (Rape Aggression Defense) to female students throughout the semester. The program teaches realistic self-defense tactics and techniques in a hands-on style. Classes are facilitated through four 3-hour sessions over the course of two weeks, culminating in a chance to practice against a member of the UNCW PD!
To see the schedule and register, visit: http://www.uncw.edu/ba/police/radschedule.html
I hope some of you will consider registering to take part in this program. It is well known across the nation and we're lucky to have it here at UNCW!

Tuesday's Tap
Good morning, everyone!
We are starting a new tradition here on the Landing blog this week. From now on, we will have Tuesday's Tap every week as our blog post on Tuesdays. It will be a way to honor someone who has done something noteworthy or above and beyond the call of duty for the university or the Landing specifically.
This week our first Tuesday Tap goes to the staff of The Landing coffee/sandwich shop. The ladies in there work hard to meet each person's requests, serve all of us with a smile, learn the names of residents and frequent visitors, provide ice and hot water for programming for the RAs, and just make the Landing more special than it already is! This week we want to send out a big THANK YOU for our Tuesday Tap to the staff of the Landing coffee/sandwich shop. If you stop in there this week, please give them an extra thank you for all that they do!
If you have someone you'd like to nominate for next week's Tuesday Tap, please email their name and why you want to nominate them to kolkmeierk@uncw.edu

RHA
Good morning, everyone!
I hope you all had a good weekend and enjoyed all of the football action that took place this weekend!
Hopefully by now you have heard about RHA, the Residence Hall Association. If not, the UNCW Residence Hall Association (RHA) is the governing body over all of the area chapters for the on-campus student population. RHA holds weekly meetings where student concerns are addressed, and programs are planned. The Executive Board of RHA is made up of the President, Vice President of Programming, Vice President of Finance, Vice President of Administration, National Communications Coordinator, a National Communications Coordinator In-Training, Public Relations, and NRHH Representative. In addition to the executive board, RHA requires one representative from each of the residential area chapters to attend the weekly RHA meetings. Any student may attend the meetings throughout the year.
The RHA meetings are Monday evenings (including tonight) at 7 PM in Seahawk Crossing Building 2. I hope you will consider coming to the meeting tonight. You will learn about major programs happening on campus, opportunities for community service, and meet other residents from around campus.
Until next time...

Keys and Re-Keys
Hey everyone!
It's getting to be about that time when one or two of you might misplace your key or lock your keys in your apartment. I'm here to bring you some answers about what you should do when/if this happens to you.
First, you should come to the Seahawk Landing Office in Building 6. Come to the front desk and tell the Desk Receptionist or Night Security guard that you have lost your key or locked your key in your apartment Either the DR will call a Key Runner or the Night Security guard will get you a loaner key from the key box. This loaner key is yours to borrow for 24 hours. Once you find your keys or get your original key from within your locked apartment, you should bring the loaner key back to the front office. A loaner key will cost you $5 which will be charged to your student account.
If you are not able to find your key within 24 hours or if you forget to return the loaner key for any reason, you will be charged $25 for a re-key of your room and apartment. This re-key will take place within the next day or two after your 24 hour loaner key period.
If you should ever have any questions about keys, please feel free to ask me, Adam the ARC, or one of your RAs here in the Landing!

Hey everyone!
I hope you had a relaxing weekend and are geared back up for the week!
Today, I'd like to take a few minutes to share a few thoughts and points of clarification with you all:
1. THANKS to everyone who came out to the After Hours Pool Party! We had fun getting to spend time with you all, play some pool games, enjoy some music thanks to DJ Magik, and cooling off in the pool!
2. Blue cards! I know several of you have been hounded by your RAs this week about filling out blue cards and getting them turned back into us...please do this! It is important for us to have that information on file for you in case something should ever happen to you.
3. Hopefully you've seen the signs around the buildings, but please be careful if going to the beach in the coming week. The rip currents are very strong right now and we ask that you use extra caution.
Until next time...

Welcome to the Landing!
Hello Landing residents!!!
Welcome to the Seahawk Landing blog! This year you can check out the blog for a variety of reasons: to find out about programs happening here in the Landing, to hear about involvement opportunities around campus, to catch the latest on updates about severe weather, and to find out about resources available to you around campus!
You will find posts here Monday through Friday. They will be posted by 8:00 AM each morning. Check back here frequently to find out about special treats (of the baked goods kind) coming your way from your RC, Katie Kolkmeier and other fun initiatives taking place in the Landing!
For now, I'll leave you with a brief introduction to your Landing staff! Check back tomorrow to learn much more about them!!
