Spring 2015 web registration begins FRIDAY, NOV. ^ Last day to withdraw from classes 44 I manage students’ room assignments, interact with vendors and counsel students (which includes mitigating roommate issues), so there’s never a dull day. I also assist the associate dean of Housing and Residential Life, the assistant director of Housing, residence directors and residence advisers with their programs and daily responsibilities. What 1 love most about my job is the opportunity to interact with students and help them solve their problems. Students come to the office and feel comfortable enough to sit and talk, hang out or ask for advice. Even if the students’ issues are unrelated to housing, I try to assist them in any way that I can. I think it’s important to have patience and understanding and to meet students where they are. ^ ^ Name: Tomanika Redd Title: Office Manager, Office of Housing and Residential Life Hometown: Jackson, MS Tenure at Morehouse: 9 years Something not commonly known about Tomanika: “I love all sports - football, basketball, baseball, track, golf, tennis, etc. It doesn’t matter which one.” But she does have one favorite athlete of all time - basketball legend Michael Jordan.
