Photo Submitted

During the 2013-14 academic year, more than 30 faculty and staff participated in academic initiatives hosted by University Housing Residence Education staff, such as academic/social programs, living learning community programs, and the Adopt-a-Prof program. On Wednesday May 14, University Housing hosted a faculty/staff appreciation lunch in their honor.

Living Learning Communities were created to provide extracurricular education, vibrant experience, and real life exposure while cultivating strong future world leaders through collaborative residential community, faculty involvement, and student engagement.

For the 2014-15 academic year, there will be seven active Living Learning Communities which include, Business, Engineering, Nursing, Pre-Medical, Communications Disorders, Diversity Scholars and Air Force ROTC.

The Adopt-A-Prof program identifies at minimum, one faculty member per residence hall who partnered with staff to provide opportunities for interaction between students and faculty. Faculty members who agreed to participate were asked to attend at least one staff “meet and greet” and two hall events per semester.
