Hello UNLV, and welcome to another episode of Let's Talk UNLV. Kun V 91.5, hello to everyone on campus that's listening. We have some very exciting guests for you today, and it's going to be very beneficial for everyone to actually pay attention and listen to this podcast today, because they have relevant information for all students here on campus. I'm gonna allow my guests to introduce I have two guests, not just one this time, like I always do. So we're gonna allow them to introduce themselves. The very first one, you can introduce yourself.

Makaylen 0:50
All right. Hi everyone. My name is Michael Lynn Tadeo, and I am the housing Operations Coordinator for the Office of Housing and Residential Life. Perfect.

Kyle Broyard 0:59
And next. Oh, and hello everyone. My name is Kyle Broyard. I am the housing assignments coordinator for the Office of Housing and Residential Life.

Dr. Sammie Scales 1:06
Fantastic. Thank you guys so much for being here. I really appreciate having you here today. So let's the way that we start all the I start all the shows, rather, is I like to hear your audience story. Let the audience know how you ended up here at UNLV, and anything else that you would like tell us. Michaela, Oh,

Makaylen 1:21
right. So I am originally from Maui, Hawaii, so I came obviously from a very far place from here. I didn't know you

Dr. Sammie Scales 1:29
was from Hawaii. Yeah, that explains it in June,

Makaylen 1:35
exactly. So I actually came to UNLV as a second year student. So I transferred in my first year of college, I started off elsewhere, and then, of course, the pandemic hit, and, you know, things weren't going well. So I was like, I still want to get my degree. So I decided to come to UNLV instead for my bachelor's. I got it in criminal justice, so here in urban affairs. And then, of course, after I had graduated, I continued my education to get a master's in criminal justice as well. So got my Bachelor's in spring of 22 my master's in spring of 24 but within that I did have student employment here at UNLV, under Housing and Residential Life, as a housing consultant. So I worked the main front lines of communications, assisting residents and things like that. And after I finished my master's degree, it was like, what's next? I didn't know what was next. I have dreams and goals, right? But I was like, What can I do in the meantime, a position here opened up to become professional staff, and that's where I'm at now.

Dr. Sammie Scales 2:37
Oh, wow. So you definitely have the background, excellent. To know, excellent. That's good to know. And Kyle,

Kyle Broyard 2:45
so yeah, thank you for having me back. Appreciate it. So a lot of you have probably already heard my origin story, but I'll for the new listeners, a lot of it is actually very similar to mccallen's. I came here actually as a first year and a first gen student from my dad's side. So UNLV is my alma mater. During my tenure here, I also worked in the housing office, whether it was in the RA role, whether it was also front desk, front lines. I've done the mail operations room. I was also what they called a community Operations Manager, which is pretty much McCain's role, but split into four different student worker positions. So and I was in that role that Michaela is in now, previously. So I know that it can be a very daunting task as well, but I think the benefit for us, especially growing up in housing, is that we've learned and we've developed a passion for it, and she shows it every day in her workforce, and it's one thing that I'm happy to continue doing. Now I don't have the same academic accolades I only achieve my Bachelor's here at UNLV, but I do have aspirations for a master's degree. Probably going to be in higher education, but working within the department and just that overall housing experience has definitely shaped my life into it as where it is now. And though I know mckaylan is and myself, we are, we are proud housing brats,

Dr. Sammie Scales 3:59
as I say. So wow, that is excellent. Those are two great back stories, actually, which shows that you are definitely qualified and knowledgeable in the area of work that you're in. So let's jump right into these questions here. So we'll just go back and forth, or whomever feel like answering it first. That's absolutely fine. So can you give us a overview of what your role is over in housing, yeah, so

Makaylen 4:20
as the housing Operations Coordinator, there's obviously a bunch of smaller things in there, but primarily I manage the student employees in the complex front desks, our main front desk, as well as the mail room, just making sure they know what they need to do, how to answer questions, concerns, all things related to taking care of our residents and occasionally are incoming students or other community patrons that have general questions too. But I also handle a lot of the marketing efforts as well, trying to keep residents on campus, how to bring in more people, how to get the word out about what we do here at housing, things like that. Wow. So

Dr. Sammie Scales 4:57
do you have any places planned anytime soon? Go. Want to try to actually recruit students and talk to students I do

Makaylen 5:02
actually. So of course, actually, this week, we're starting our orientation season, but coming up this June, our office decided to send me to Oahu for the Hawaii orientation this summer. So I'll be very excited to go represent where I come from, represent UNLV, and especially the housing office. Wow,

Dr. Sammie Scales 5:22
that is so good. That is excellent, fantastic. And I definitely didn't know you from Hawaii. So Kyle, it's your turn.

Kyle Broyard 5:33
So my role now as the assignments coordinator is a lot of the communication to students in regards to the movement information, getting the assignments out exactly how it says. So I do a lot of the assignment portions for students, the housing, the building, Port portions of that meal plan changes, and then it kind of Dave is a bit more. You know, when the terms are in session, whether it's room change requests, whether it's certain preferences that we're looking to grant certain students a large oversight of our like single rooms process and then just general other housing room related questions. You know, a lot of are like, when is when is moving? When is move out, our late stay information. So a lot of more behind the scenes, more computer, but still that general knowledge for students in regards to what, what specifics they need for their housing assignments.

Dr. Sammie Scales 6:19
So with being in charge of the moving, move in, move out, with housing. When it comes to the room, change thing, I'm sure that can be daunted as well. What are some of the main reasons that students choose to change rooms? A lot

Kyle Broyard 6:31
of the reasons that we see is just, you know, again, it's not a perfect world, you know, you know. And not everyone's going to agree, 100% at that point. And so some so students definitely work their best, whether it's with the RAS to kind of tackle some of those struggles, some of those dividing factors, whether it's Hey, you know, my roommate wakes up a lot earlier than I do, or they go to bed a lot earlier than I do. I'm more of a quiet person, introverted, they're more of a social they're looking for the clubs, organizations. And, you know, some roommate matches just aren't as compatible. So that's where my role comes into place. When those requests come in. Well, what can I do to help find that compatibility? What can we do to help appease that so we do offer the room change processes for students and then just reassign them to a student that, on paper, at least, is more compatible with what they're looking for, someone student who is a bit more quiet. For that individual, some student who are looking for maybe the more outgoing type or personality, or, you know, someone who is just of which was a request that we got, of a preference, of maybe a specific culture, as well as UNLV, we are the, the most diverse campus, and so we take a lot of those cultures requests into consideration as well. That's

Dr. Sammie Scales 7:35
excellent that they're able to switch rooms, you know, if they need to, or if there's some some difference of opinion. So they can actually switch room. So Matt, when it comes to let me ask you this, what are some of the key benefits of students actually living on campus compared to commuting back and forth to school?

Makaylen 7:49
For sure, for sure. I can also testify this as someone who lived on campus, right, someone who is out of state, there is definitely that convenience factor. You are always right where you need to be. In my experience, when I came to UNLV, I obviously knew nothing about Las Vegas. I didn't know what was around me, what was good, what was not good. I also wasn't held down to the first year housing requirement that we have. So I made the choice to move on campus. It was so much easier one. I didn't have to worry about monthly rent. You know, those utilities that aren't included in the base pay of that. Now I need to worry about that because I'm not living on campus, but we are, for sure. And then also part of that too, is when you know I would study, especially going through my grad program, I had a lot of all nighters, a lot of late nights, and where I'm like, let me just take a quick 20 minute nap, and it turns into several hours later, my alarm goes off. I'm like, I need to get to class, so I just roll out of bed, or just get up quickly make sure I'm presentable. You know, breath smells nice. Hair is done just a little bit. You know, I'm dressed right, and I'm right out the door. I also prefer that convenience aspect of I don't have to worry in my case of having a roommate, I lived in UCC, just for some extra context. And those were single room accommodations, which was a great point for me to go. It's like that baby step I call it from living in a traditional dorm, compared to going straight out and to get an apartment off campus. Again, you don't know what to expect. There's not any 24 24/7 on site staff to assist you with any questions, concerns you may have. So being on campus provided that as well, as you know, a resident only parking lot, sometimes we don't have those, and you might be fighting with other people on campus for those student passes, right and those lots to be a little bit closer to classes. So those are some other things too. There's a lot of programming that we do in the residence halls as well. The RAS do programs pretty much throughout the months, while they're here as well as there's always something to do on campus. There's events being held. My favorites were silent disco, late night breakfast or. Or even just other smaller events that were, you know, painting, making your own little potted plants, those fun things to just share with your friends, other residents that you may meet. There's also a unique experience. When you live on campus, you get to experience something different. UNLV is kind of a commuter campus, but when you live on campus, you do actually get to experience dorm life, but not in the traditional sense of everything's a mess. We do have things very much put together. There's always people to support you. There's always people who you may just see in the common areas. You're like, Oh, hey, hello, and just strike up a conversation. There's never been a time where I felt unwanted or weird about certain things, there was just a unique experience to just be yourself, express yourself, and just get out there. And then, of course, independence is a huge factor too. Coming from home, you know, I did chores back home, so I'm used to it. But there's a lot of people I met here who are local, or they came from out of state as well, and they've never had a chance to get a break from their families, or to have a little bit more control in terms of, I have no curfew, I can set my own bedtime, I can set my own study time. I can eat whatever I want, do whatever I want. So there's that independence, for sure, that teaches them how to be an adult. You know that in between stage, but also learning what's right and what's not right to do as you're making that transition, because those are definitely key factors before you finish college, and you're just kind of tossed out there into the real adult world. Yeah,

Dr. Sammie Scales 11:30
exactly. You know, sitting in my office, sometimes I look out the window and I see students walking with laundry baskets, and I always think to myself, yeah, you don't have mom at home. So I kind of chuckle at that

Kyle Broyard 11:42
anytime I see that, at least in Long Beach tree.

Dr. Sammie Scales 11:45
Yeah. And I'm gonna ask about that, Kyle. Can you tell us some more benefits about living on, living in the dorm versus commuting? And then, you know, especially talk about someone like the theme floors. What are some of those benefits as well?

Kyle Broyard 11:57
Yeah. I mean, I think Michaela hit it on the head when it came to a lot of those convenient factors for us as well, again, that sense of community and inclusion, especially highlighting our theme, our theme communities as well. We have 12, I believe 1212, new communities, and they all range from when all women's floor. We have academic partners, whether it's engineering, honors, hospitality, fine arts. We have our Stonewall suites area. So those are students who are in the LGBTQ plus community, and they want a more conducive environment that's more beneficial for them, more safe, more secure. We also have our how town floor, so those are for African American scholars. We're actually unveiling a brand new floor coming in this fall semester, and I know that Michael and has been spearheading that. So I'm not sure if you out, if you want to actually touch more on that. It's up to you, but you know, we have and touch a lot of different identities and cultural based areas within our communities. And so I think being able to have an area where students feel highlighted in those support systems is hugely beneficial. It just adds an extra layer of inclusion, and that, you know that on campus living experience, that that dorm life, yeah, you know, you don't have to, you know, commute like I do, 35 minutes every morning, 35 minutes every even when I leave home, which is an hour on a good day. So I think, you know, living on, if I could work into having, like a pro staff apartment, that'd be fantastic. But, you know, we're here. But I think as far as you know, those key benefits to living on campus, we highlight a lot of it, whether it's, again, the convenience factor, whether it's being more inclusive, whether just being more well rounded, supported on a culture, or even an academic side of things as well,

Dr. Sammie Scales 13:37
fantastic. So we're gonna leave that, that dangling, whether or not Mac want to talk about that new floor. But I am gonna circle back around to something that you said earlier, and that's the amenities of living, living in housing, in residential housing, you talked about how, you know absolutely laundry is free. What else do the students get to? There's

Kyle Broyard 13:56
a lot. There's a lot. I think, I think as a department, we are very modern. Now we have our mail locker system. So again, Michael and mentioned that she oversees the mail room in all operations that goes into that and includes the mail room, and, you know, McKay touch on the mail room.

Makaylen 14:16
So basically, our mail lockers are no longer something like your standard PO Box and key. It's been completely revamped to be modernized. The closest comparison is those Amazon lockers that you may see at places like Whole Foods or some apartment complexes have them too. But basically, when residents move on campus, they have a address that's different from the rest of the university. That way, we know this is for our on campus residents. From there, our mail team goes ahead, scans and all the items we receive, make sure that they are items that are allowed in the halls. And if they're not allowed, what do we do next? Right? How do we let them know they can't have these items in the halls? But if everything is good to go. They'll take it to the lockers, scan it into the locker, put it in, and the residents can access that locker, 24/7, within a set five day period to retrieve those items. And it's pretty quick, pretty simple. Our lockers have a very quick turnaround rate under less than a day, so we're often reloading these lockers several times throughout the day, and the residents seem to have a lot easier of a time to get these items too. They don't have to worry about if we're open or not, things like that. Yeah. And I

Kyle Broyard 15:28
think that just speaks to just again, back that convenience factor to it all as well. I mean, we have, even from the smallest things, like free Wi Fi. We have, you know, ice machines for students. We have the free laundry. There's 24/7 on site staff. So like, there are so many different factors that these students utilize as part of our amenities, that in other areas, whether it's an apartment complex or whether you're sometime maybe mom or dad are now building you as well. A lot of these things are contributing factors to some of the financial, financial stressors. But here it's kind of that all in one package. Wow,

Dr. Sammie Scales 15:59
that's exciting. You know, when you were talking about the lockers being there. So if they get Amazon, they just go straight to the lockers. And it made me think about, wow, when I get Amazon, I have to jump in my truck and make sure that I get home so my bag is not taken. So let's talk about what support, support services do students have priority access to living in the halls. All right,

Kyle Broyard 16:21
so we actually do have a lot of the external support services in the in the in the hall. So there's academic support services where we work with Academic Success Center. There's also First Year Experience department that we work with as well for students in the first year area. The residential life coordinators also oversee a lot of that kind of development portions for some of those first year students, if there's any questions or they're looking for any other different type, type of services and supports. You know, we're always a gateway to those as well. There's what we call caps, but all the students know that as the Counseling and Psychological Services, which is, I think, you get 12 free sessions a semester for students, and that's all within their student account. So students who either need someone just to talk to, or even more, on the severe spectrum of some of that mental health education, some students who are, you know, battling with those mental health related situations as well. Caps is always there, there for them and included in your student fees. So whether you feel you want to talk to someone or not utilize the service, you get 12 free sessions each semester. You're paying for it already. So we especially now where we see, you know, mental health related situations are at an all time high, and they're steadily increasing. You know, that is one of our forefronts here on campus, is providing that service that prioritized service for the students in the halls. And that's where a lot of the RAS and RHA, our Residence Hall Association, come into play as well. So they do again. Michaela mentioned it a lot of the programming, making sure students feel a sense of belongingness, making sure that there's something to do, whether it's the weekend, especially for our underage students, to give them an outlet that's beneficial. You know, not always going out to party, but being in an area where you're surrounded by either your community, your floor mates, your roommates, and just having that extra incentive to kind of get out of your room, be active and just be around others in that area. And I think RHA is doing a great way right now. As far as advocacy points for residents, they hold a town hall meeting. They work with the dining team in regards to providing that feedback for students and their eating experience. And so again, there's a lot of things that we tackle within the halls. And just to show the students that you know, you're not just here to live and go to class, live, go to class. You know, this, this, we, we put great effort to ensure that you have access to these certain things, these amenities, these services, and to make you feel included as well.

Dr. Sammie Scales 18:46
Wow, you touched on several things that I don't want to ask you about Mac also, one thing I want to ask bring up is, you know, and of course, my office is over in housing, so I know the great work that's been done over in housing. And I can remember doing a program over there where I worked with SDP student diversity programs, with Imani. We did this boots on the ground event. That was fantastic. We even had Dr Rogers and Colleen, all of them over there, doing the dance as well. So can you talk to us about some of your other who are your other community partners? And you mentioned caps, so who are some of the other community partners that you have? And do you have any big events coming up, or any events at all coming up that we can let students know about. Yeah, for

Makaylen 19:23
sure, some of our other support is in the form of our theme communities. So I'll just toss that in there. Of course, we have a lot of support academically and in the residence halls. We have partnerships with hospitality, the Honors College, fine arts, even engineering, engineering for sure, and they provide all types of resources for our students that way, that if it's specific to their program, they have exactly what they need right there in the residence halls. For example, engineering has provided computers that have pre installed programs on it for their students to utilize, instead of having. Worry about, you know, putting it on their laptops, their iPads, whatever they use nowadays. But of course, some of our other academic support too is in the form of tutoring. We do have tutoring services here in our Dayton complex. We also have Academic Success Center coaching too, so if they have a specific trajectory that they want to be on throughout their time here at UNLV to set them up for success in their career of career fields. That is the place to be. Wow.

Dr. Sammie Scales 20:25
It sounds like it's so beneficial for students to actually live on these different theme floors because of all the amenities that come along. Yeah. Wow. So if you're student and you're listening and you're not on a theme floor, you might want to consider getting on one of those things. But

Kyle Broyard 20:39
even though, even a lot of those events that we typically put on them in the halls, where it's something, as you know, simple as an aroma therapy course, where you come you create your own aromas, and it's therapeutic. Also, it takes your mind a bit off of school. It takes your mind a bit off of whatever other stresses that you may have, again, gets you out of your room. It kind of gets you a bit out of that comfort zone, and kind of puts in an area where you get to meet other students who may be going through some similar things as you or just meet a new friend. Yeah,

Dr. Sammie Scales 21:06
absolutely. And that's that's the one that's the point of some of these programs. Well, all of the programs that we put together is making sure that student has that sense of belonging, that they're able to connect with new friends, make new friends, and connect with old friends as well. So those are some of the benefits of living on those floors. So let's talk a little bit about First Year Experience. Can you talk about the First Year Experience housing requirement and who and who can apply for? Yeah.

Makaylen 21:27
So the first year housing on campus requirement applies to first year students, more specifically, our traditional freshmen. So if they're still within that first year of graduating from high school outside of Las Vegas, Henderson, North Las Vegas, Boulder City. And Param and are also taking six or more credits. They are required to live on campus for their entire first year here at UNLV, meaning the fall and spring semesters. Part of that requirement is just to make sure we have them here. We're able to take care of them. We're able to help them adjust. For sure, there's always that big jump from high school to college, and it can be rough for some people, and some people do acclimate to that perfectly. Everyone's different, so we don't know, but we want to make sure that we provide them with resources that they need. But in addition to that, we also have a First Year Experience theme community too. So those are not just for our traditional freshmen, it's for any first year student at UNLV. So whether they're coming in as a freshman or if it's their first time here, they have no idea what to expect, no idea what they're doing, and they need the assistance that first year experience theme community will provide them those resources as well. They don't want them to be in the dark. They want them to have a successful first year here at UNLV.

Dr. Sammie Scales 22:40
Excellent. That's fantastic, man. All of those supports. So Kyle, let me ask you this, what should students and families know about the dining plans and what makes them valuable here at UNLV? So

Kyle Broyard 22:51
what makes them valuable is that, well, one I'll speak on that living on campus, there is a certain requirement. There is a dining requirement for students to have a meal plan, but it's not necessarily for the financial reasons. Portion of AIDS, we want to ensure that students have adequate access to a meal. It's too far on too often that we hear students who are either going through, you know, a housing related issue where maybe they don't have access to housing, or accommodating, accommodated housing. And it's also we hear a lot of food insecurity questions going on as well. And so a lot of the meal plan requirements to ensure that students do have adequate access to a meal. And we work heavily with the dining team UNLV eats, in regards to what the dining commons itself presents, which is more of an Auggie buffet style of things. And they have all kinds of what I call them, delicious delicacies. And it's anything from, you know, made order, grills, pizza, pasta, the salad bars is also the new true balance station as well. So this is for students who probably looking for a very custom type of milling. They also handle accommodations for students with certain dietary or health related allergens, so whether it's gluten, whether it's a peanut intolerance, as well. So the dining commons takes a lot of precautions to ensure students, all students, have an adequate eating experience. But then there's more just to that as well. There's all the eateries we have on campus that are utilized through a student's meal plans, not just the swipes, but what we call they're not dining dollars. So there's subway, you know, Guy Fieri, just, you know, open his new chicken guy, and it closes at 6pm if you hear this and you you get the joke, then you saw the video. So you know, there's a lot that students can experience. Students can experience with their dining plans. Very versatile dining plan. We offer students a change if they may. Maybe they realize they're eating too much and they want to, you know, increase it, or maybe they're not eating enough, and they want to decrease it. And those can also help out with some of the financial situations as well. But a lot of the meal plan is very versatile. And one thing that we see under utilized every semester is their guest swipes. A lot of students don't know that they have guest swipes. So if your mom or dad come on campus, there's actually separate meal plan account that you can utilize that doesn't take away from your primary account, where you can invite your mom, your dad, your siblings, into the Dyna Commons, and they can also enjoy the. Lavish delicacies as well. Wow,

Dr. Sammie Scales 25:01
that's good to know. Let me let's move down here a little bit further here, and I'm gonna ask Michaela this question here. What advice would you give incoming students and their parents about preparing for residence life? For sure,

Makaylen 25:12
there's a lot of pieces of advice. One, check your rebel mail constantly. They should get in that habit, right? They're starting to come to college, that pre adult, before actual adulthood, I call it that, in which you will have to check your emails and all of our main communications, all of the major updates we have for all of our incoming residents, will be sent to their rebel mail. We may do occasional phone calls here and there, but primarily it is through email. So for example, coming up this summer, we have our roommate matching and room selection process for our incoming students. You don't check your rubble mail, you might miss it, so information about that will actually be sent out in the coming weeks. It's right around the corner. And of course, what they need to bring when they move on campus, any conversations they need to have with their roommates and suitemates figure out who's gonna bring the shower curtain? Who are we all gonna buy our own toilet paper? What's this? How do we wanna decorate the room? Things like that that would make it more comfortable to live here. And then, of course, I didn't know this when I came here. Vegas has a very unique weather. Sometimes it's so hot I can't handle it, or it's so cold I can't handle it, you know, I'm from the tropics. I don't I'm not used to

Dr. Sammie Scales 26:25
that exactly. Yeah, I come here from San Diego, so it's gonna be 82 degrees every day, and that's the edit. That's all you need to know. But, yeah, coming here, I remember getting in my vehicle once, and it was 126 degrees. And I in the vehicle, by the way, I couldn't, I just couldn't. So I sat there with the windows down, with the AC blowing at floor full blast. So

Makaylen 26:50
it's definitely a lot. But you know how to be prepared for that move in period, how to be prepared for the rest of your year? Here is what's very important. And of course, other pieces of advice is just to be yourself. Sometimes people come to college and it's their chance of maybe they weren't as out there in high school, and now this is their time. There's something for everyone here at UNLV. So that's one thing I want to highlight. You know, I wasn't involved in a lot of clubs in high school, but when I came to UNLV, there was so much going on. And even now as professional staff, I see all these new clubs popping up after the years go by. And I was like, that would have been great to have when I was still a student here. So definitely very fun. Get involved. Check your rubble. Mail your emails. Don't forget that part, please.

Dr. Sammie Scales 27:35
My best advice is, once you register for your class, students introduce you, email your professor, introducing yourself, that's gonna go a long way. Trust me, Kyle, can you offer your best piece of advice for students? Oh,

Kyle Broyard 27:47
man, yeah. I think you know Michael and she, she hit it again on on the note, just getting yourself out there. I think you're also, you know, speaking to that as well. In regards to, it's not just getting to know who your community is beginning to know your professors. A little bit goes a long way a simple form of contact saying, Hello, my name is this, you know, can you know bridge gaps. And I think that was probably one of the things that I wish I would have done better. I always tell this to our student staff, I just want you all to succeed better than I did, and the fact that a lot of them are graduated within four years is succeeding better than I did, and a lot of them are taking that initiative to just, you know, take that first step. Fantastic.

Dr. Sammie Scales 28:29
So in about 10 seconds, can you if money wasn't an issue, what would you like to see for housing? Ooh,
