Learning Outcome Planning Objective
Faculty Fellow Program
Objective: Students and selected faculty will "break down" traditional perceived barriers between the two groups. Students and Faculty will have an opportunity to see and engage each other outside of the classroom setting in a more informal atmosphere. Faculty will share with students more about their general field of knowledge or other hobbies/ interests that the Faculty member may have. Each Faculty Fellow will be encouraged to visit with their assigned Residential Community at least twice each semester. The visitation could be to facilitate a special interest program on areas of personal interest to that Faculty member or share a personal hobby with the students.
Rationale:
- The Faculty Fellow Program is important because many residential students only have an opportunity to engage faculty in the context of the classroom. Because ULV is a smaller and more intimate campus, the Faculty Fellow Program is an additional method for students to create deeper and more purposeful connections with faculty beyond traditional academics.
- The program was started in the fall Semester of 2004 after there was expressed concern by residential students that faculty did not know or understand enough about the students they teach. The Faculty Fellow Program is one potential method to help Òbreak downÓ any perceived barriers between the two groups.
Measures:
- The ResidentÕs Assistant will write a summary of their experience and what they learned personally about the faculty at the conclusion of the academic year.
- Participating Residential Students will be asked to list 3 personal non-academic items they know about their Faculty Fellow at the beginning of the academic year, and then what they learned about their Faculty Fellow at the end of the academic year or after a selected visitation.
- Participating residential students and faculty will be provided a likert scale evaluation form. This form will have several questions assessing the degree to which perceived barriers were Òbroken downÓ between the two groups.
Questions regarding the programs and outcomes outlined in this section should be addressed to Dr. Byron Howlett Director, Housing & Residential Life, (909) 593.3511, Ext. 4052 or howlett@ulv.edu
