WELCOME ISAAC
AS YOUR NEW RESIDENT ADVISOR
I really enjoy learning about people so when
provided the opportunity to hear someone’s
story, I love being able to just sit and listen.
Being an RA, I feel is a lot of listening, learning,
seeing who people are and showing support. As
an RA I really want to learn what building
community looks like and how to aid in that
process. I look forward to creating fun events,
weekly hang outs and interesting learning
activities! My goal is to connect with as many
residents as possible to help build a community
that understands and supports each other. I also
look forward to working with the Residence Life
team and residents to accomplish something
greater than I could alone.
My Five Year Plan is to first finish my AA degree
in business administration here at Whatcom. I’m
still considering what school to attend to pursue
my bachelors in business administration, as well
as minoring with a culinary and automotive
degree. To then commence my education, I will
pursue an MBA at preferably University of
Washington in Seattle or Bothell which I will
graduate from in 2027.

HISTORY OF EGGS & SPRINGTIME
ACCORDING TO THE INTERNET
For centuries eggs have been tied to folklore and traditions in cultures around the
world. Ancient Greek and Roman lore said the universe came from a giant egg and
eggs were often used in celebrations and sacrifices to the gods. Other ancient cultures
believed eggs represented the four elements in one: the white was water, the yolk was
fire, the shell was earth, and air was the thin membrane and pocket within the shell.
Almost every agricultural society in Europe and Asian has given decorated eggs as
gifts - for the new year or for a good harvest and even to celebrate birthdays and
