Here are some idea of RAKs you can do around campus:

1. Hold the door open for people

2. Pay for the person behind you

3. Put a quarter in the washing/vending machines

4. Buy flowers and hand them out

5. Write a thank you note

6. Volunteer

7. Make time to talk to someone you haven’t spoken with in a while

8. Say thank you

9. Let someone go ahead of you in line

10. Compliment someone you see on the street
