Prepping the Staff

Uncategorized

Our Student Life staffs have been eagerly preparing for the arrival of BUTI students this coming Sunday, June 15th! The past two weeks have included training in team building, communication skills, first aid, and community building.

Resident Assistants (RAs) and Management staff traveled to a ropes course in Becket, MA to work on trust, communication, troubleshooting, problem solving, and teamwork.

Office Manager Stephen D’Amico and Community Programming Manager Kyle Lanning learn when to pull each other along and when is best to divide and conquer during this low-ropes balancing act.

Teamwork and effective communication were the main focal points of the day; and we emerged a stronger group. We are excited to have such a strong and supportive team to encourage students this summer at BUTI!

CPR
Every member of BUTI’s Student Life staff is now First Aid and CPR/AED certified. While we hope to never use these newly acquired skills, parents and students alike can find comfort in the fact that someone will always be on hand to help them.
