The Student Involvement Center

Containing three meeting rooms, a craft table, and desk space, the Center is an ideal location for student organizations to meet, to create advertisements and flyers, or to hold study hours. It is also great for the individual student seeking a quiet space to learn!

- If furniture is moved or rearranged, it must be put back in the original arrangement after usage is complete.
- It is the responsibility of all students who use the space to keep it clean and in good shape. Abuse of the space can result in the limitation or loss of access privileges or alteration of the availability of the space overall.

The Faculty Fellows Program
The Faculty Fellow program is designed to create opportunities for students to connect with faculty outside of the classroom or office. Research has shown that such a connection is extremely beneficial not only to the students, but also to the faculty involved as well as the overall campus community! By bringing faculty into the residence hall setting, we help students to realize that professors are people, making them more approachable. It also provides role models for academic excellence and provides a new resource for overcoming obstacles both in the academic world and life in general. Finally, it will help to demonstrate what a lifelong learner looks like.
This innovative new program has been developed with the following program goals in mind. They are being provided to you here so they may inform your efforts within your role as a Faculty Fellow.
Program Goals
- Develop meaningful relationships among faculty, staff, and students.
- Increase student and faculty interaction outside of class and office setting.
- Offer a great number of high quality programming opportunities.
- Promote an emphasis on academics across the entire campus.
- Increase campus wide faculty and student engagement.
