Program OverviewThe Faculty Associate/Fellows Program emerged in response to the realization that there was a growinggap between faculty members and undergraduate students at Washington University. In addition, manyfaculty members wished to extend their interaction with students outside the academic realm. Today, manycampuses across the nation have well-developed faculty/student interaction programs (e.g. Stanford,Georgetown, UCLA, Elon, etc.).The Faculty Associate/Fellows Program, sponsored by the Office of Residential Life, is designed to provideopportunities for significant faculty-student interaction outside of the classroom setting. Faculty Associates(FAs) are faculty members who agree to work with Resident Advisors (RAs) and a floor of first-year studentsor an upperclass community during the academic year.Working as a team, FAs and their RAs plan activities with residents designed to create a sense ofcommunity and engagement. These activities offer an opportunity for the residents to develop a significantrelationship with a member of the faculty, thus making the faculty member an active member of theresidential community. The program helps to integrate FAs into the residential community by allowing themto share particular interests, both academic and extracurricular, with the residents.Faculty Fellows (FFs) are faculty members, and often, their families, who agree to live in ResidentialColleges during the academic year. Fellows work with RAs, Residential College Directors (RCDs), and otherFAs to put on programs for the entire Residential College. These programs engage students in an enjoyableand intellectually stimulating atmosphere, where students can feel at ease discussing their views on varioustopics with faculty members.The faculty members involved in the Faculty Associates/Fellows Program are volunteers. By participating inthe program, both faculty and students gain a better understanding of the rich lives we lead outside of theclassroom. In turn, faculty help improve the undergraduate experience of their students, while studentsincrease the number of quality interactions with faculty outside of academics.4

Goals & GuidelinesFaculty Fellow Goals Maintain a high level of visibility and familiarity to residents and staff within theresidential community Provide undergraduate residents with role models and/or mentors Encourage residents’ use of faculty as informal resources for information, referral, ormentorship Increase the understanding of faculty roles and student life outside of the classroom Invite faculty colleagues to participate in residential community events and programsFaculty Fellow Suggested Guidelines Meet regularly with the Residential College Director (RCD) to discuss the currentbudget, programming, and well-being of the residential community Check in with residential community FAs mid-semester Attend 1 staff meeting per month Lead a FYRP discussion during Bear Beginnings, if available Attend all or part of move-in day Attend the first floor meeting/convocation (bring your family!)

The Residential College ModelWashington University adapted the Residential College model to promote living environments thatfoster student learning while encouraging students’ personal growth and development. EachResidential College comprises two or three separate houses that form a single community. EachResidential College has a Residential College Director who works in close association with a live-inFaculty Fellow (currently in William Greenleaf Eliot, Wayman Crow, Robert S. Brookings, Park/Mudd,Umrath/South Forty House, Thomas Eliot/Eliot B, and Liggett/Koenig Colleges), Resident Advisors,College Council representatives, Washington University Student Associates, and the housekeepingstaff.Goals for the Residential College Program Promote a strong sense of community among students living in the college Develop residential communities that promote students’ learning and personal development Foster meaningful interactions between students and faculty outside of the formal classroomsetting Encourage traditions, customs, and rituals that are uniqueto each collegeMeals, Parking & Access to BuildingsMealsEach Faculty Associate is provided 50 for thesemester to eat with residents in residence halldining facilities. We believe that meals are aperfect time to interact with residents on a moreinformal level.ParkingFaculty Associates can park in both of the South40 garages with their faculty parking permits.If you do not have a parking permit, please talk tothe RCD of your Residential College who willarrange a temporary pass.Entrance to BuildingsFaculty Associates are also granted access to thebuilding that they are paired with.

2016-2017 Faculty Associate Best PracticesBelow are some guidelines for maximizing your experience as a Faculty Associate. Thepersonalities of you, the building, the RA, and the residents will all play a role in determining whatwill be most beneficial in developing a positive faculty/student experience. You are encouraged todevelop your own style and come up with more ideas on your own with the help of your RCD, RA,and the residents.FIRST FLOOR MEETING and CONVOCATIONThe first floor meeting for first-year students will be held on Thursday, August 25th beforeConvocation in the Athletic Complex at 7:30pm. Work with your RAs and RCD to determine thebest time to arrive on the floor. After introducing yourself, stick around with the rest of therescollege to learn cheers and march over to Convocation with students, RAs, WUSAs, FF, andRCD.RESCOLLEGE DINNEREvery residential college will have a FREE dinner in college hall during the first weeks of thesemester. This is a great time to have more meaningful conversations with your students after thefirst floor meeting, and before everyone’s schedules become filled with activities and classes. Andwho doesn’t love free food?!PROGRAMMING1. On page 14, you will find a calendar of major events on and around campus that we findare the most popular with our students. Many events are free, but you may also use yourbudget to subsidize ticketed events, or for a small meal before or after the event.2. Create your own program! Is there something in the community you already participate in?Will you be attending a festival or event students would not typically have access to? Invitethem! Use your own interests and activities to engage with students.3. Your RAs, WUSAs and rescollege will also have programming throughout the year. Thisdoes not serve as a replacement for your own programs, but can be an easy way to seemany students at one time.COMMUNICATIONExpect communication from your RAs at least once a month. Your RAs may also send weeklyemails to the floor that you may ask to be included on. These emails will keep you up to date withfloor and campus events. While your RAs will be your first line of communication, touch baseregularly with the RCD and FF as well.11

Tips & TricksShare the Personal as Well as the Professional Side of Your LifeYour family is invited to all residential life events. We understand that the FA role often requires eveningand weekend commitments, so we invite your families to become a part of your reslife family – thisincludes pets as well!Be a ResourceStudents can often be overloaded with academic advice throughout the day, so how can you best serveas a faculty resource? Share your story. Just as we aim to know students by name and story, they arealso trying to get to know you. Every student is in a state of exploration, especially our first years. Younever know who might be inspired by your previous non-profit work or gap years before graduateschool!Quality Over QuantityAn enjoyable discussion with three interested students may, in thelong run, be more valuable to you and the students than having alarge turnout for an event where your contact is superficial. Vary thetypes of activities you do in order to reach different types of residents.A small group dinner and movie viewing at your home will appeal tosome residents while a large floor trip to the St. Louis Zoo or Eckert’sFarm will appeal to others.Be PatientIf one approach to making contact with the floor is not working, tryanother. Successful Faculty Associates are, among other things,persistent. Use the RA and/or RCD as a resource for ideas of how toengage students.“Nothing has to be a big production;faculty and students are quite busypeople. Activities that are relativelyshort and simple work best.”–Tabea Linhard & Guillermo Rosas,Brookings Faculty Fellows ’11-’14.12“Use the RAs for advice.Get to know the studentsthrough attending floormeetings and things theywill be at any way andfigure out once you get toknow the students a littlebetter what kind ofprogramming would bemost effective. Get themoff campus! Use dogs,babies, and food.Everybody loves dogs,babies, and food!” –DeanJen Smith, Danforth 3 ’11’12 FA
