On November 15th, 2012, Student Housing Services held an appreciation reception for Residence Heroes and Student staff at the Mattamy Athletic Centre! It was a great success and gave us all an opportunity to formally recognize the incredible community we have here in residence.

A message from the Graduate Advisor -Leadership:
"The residence
hero program is a program that recognizes students for their day-to-day
contributions to the residence community. Students and staff are encouraged to
nominate their students and peers for big acts of kindness and the little
things that often go unnoticed. Whether it is helping a friend study, helping
to plan an event, consoling a friend when their upset or just being an active
member of our community – RezHeros are helping to build the residence
community. Even though they may think what they do is unimportant – I’m here to
tell them that it is. Holding the title of a Ryerson residence hero means that
at some point in time they have contributed something positive to someone
else’s residence experience. Even if it was just one person, that person will
always remember them as someone who added a positive memory to their life. This year the
program has been very successful, with over 90 nominations, and that number is reflective
of how strong our community really is. Kindness and appreciation is contagious
– and in Ryerson Rez, it’s spreading like wildfire! As is said in the RezHero
congratulatory letters, residence isn’t just about a place to sleep and eat.
It’s about building a community, creating memories and the beginning of life
long friendships.
I want to sincerely thank you all for your continued
positivity and invaluable contributions to our community. Thank you for being
residence heroes – we salute you!"
Congratulations everyone!
