OTMs<br />

In the past, UW-Whitewater has not submitted OTMs to the state level. This year, these submissions<br />

were priority! Starting September 2010, UW-Whitewater NRHH has successfully submitted<br />

OTMs to the state for review. Our chapter has improved the process in which we eliminate bias.<br />

Instead of one person reading through and choosing what is, in their opinion, the best OTM, there<br />

is a committee of 4 people who vote for OTMs along with the campus coordinator.<br />

Here are some other ways OTM’s have improved this year:<br />

Paper copies of OTM forms were handed out at an informational Org. Fair<br />

WHIL hosted a holiday party and OTM awards were given away<br />

From March 2010 – December 2010 UW-Whitewater has had:<br />

110 OTMs submitted<br />

25 Campus Winning OTMs<br />

4 Campus Honorable Mention OTMs<br />

1 State Winning OTM<br />

1 Regional Winning OTM<br />

Collaboration with RHA<br />

This past year, WHIL and RHA have collaborated on programs which benefit residence hall students.<br />

Last year, WHIL and RHA put on a Sweet Service Auction to raise funds for two scholarships.<br />

Our annual scholarship, RHA/WHIL Outstanding Student Leader, is awarded to an outstanding<br />

leader on campus.<br />

In September, the Executive Boards of WHIL and RHA had a combined dinner to get to know<br />

each other and brainstorm ideas on how our organization can work together. RHA and WHIL<br />

worked together on a Residence Life dance. Fifty people were in attendance and were exposed to<br />

the enjoyment of being in WHIL and what the Whitewater chapter has to offer.<br />

Continuous collaboration includes two WHIL seats on the RHA Assembly along with a line on the<br />

RHA agenda that allows NRHH/WHIL to have a weekly update at all meetings. This is a great<br />

opportunity for the WHIL Chapter of Whitewater, especially to advertise events and notify leaders<br />

when applications go out to Residence Life members. This continuous collaboration allows WHIL<br />

and RHA to have a strong bond as leaders throughout the academic year.<br />
