Overview

Academic Initiatives are programs, services, facilities, and learning communities that support the academic needs and goals of the 国产短视频 students. In Housing & Residential Education, we promote the academic success and intellectual development of our residents and strive to enhance their ability to graduate within 4-6 years. The Academic Initiatives Team is committed to establishing relationships with faculty and staff in order to maximize the flow of academic resources for our residents. Most initiatives provide learning experiences and opportunities to interact with faculty outside of the classroom.

Events

The Academic Initiatives team at the 国产短视频 offers year-round academic engagement opportunities. Below are descriptions of our current programs and initiatives, including those in which we partner with other offices.

ACHIEVE-A-BULL

The goal of this workshop is to enhance academic success skills and study strategies that will lead to improved academic performance in the spring semester. Achieve-a-Bull is a one day workshop offered in early January, before spring classes begin, to any first year student who received below a 2.5 GPA in the fall semester. The workshop is a partnership between Housing & Residential Education and the Academic Success Center. Occurs in the spring.

FINALS REVIEWS

The goal of this program is to provide students with added opportunities to prepare for their finals exams. Professors from various departments are invited to give large-scale review sessions in subjects recommend by residents. Each semester students attend these review sessions in the residence hall areas and the Marshall Student Center. Occurs every semester during finals week.

HOUSE CALLS

The goal of this event is to provide first-time in college students the opportunity to interact with 国产短视频faculty, staff, advisors, and other Student Affairs and Student Success professionals in the residence halls in which they live. Residents will experience organic interactions with 国产短视频professionals that will serve as venues for continued communication, mentoring, and added support throughout their time in college. Occurs in the fall.

LAST LECTURE SERIES

The goal of this program is to provide a venue for a distinguished faculty member to present a message as though it were their last lecture. Students, faculty, and other 国产短视频constituents are invited to hear the inspirational and engaging message from a respected member of the 国产短视频community. Occurs every year.

Faculty-in-Residence

Full-time faculty members reside within the residence halls on campus. The Faculty-in-Residence (FIR) professors foster habits of curiosity about and involvement in educational and service activities beyond the formal confines of the classroom. The FIRs help plan and implement social as well as educational programs while serving as a role model, teacher and leader within the residential community in which they reside.

Faculty Fellows

In addition to the Faculty-in-Residence program, many additional faculty members serve as role models and mentors to residents as Faculty Fellows (FF). The Faculty Fellows are faculty members who engage with students outside of the classroom to broaden the academic experience of students and to enhance the work environment of the faculty member. The FF provides a bridge between formal academic programs and the out of classroom developmental activities of residents.
