LIVING & LEARNING
TOGETHER
WHAT IS RESIDENTIAL CURRICULUM?
Residential Curriculum is an intentional way of promoting student learning and engagement
in the residence halls! The Office of Residence Life and Housing is committed to creating an
environment in the residence halls where students can build relationships with one another,
learn to communicate effectively and live cooperatively with others. The Residence Life staff
will provide strategies to encourage student learning and engagement in the residence halls
through conversations, events and activities.

EDUCATIONAL PRIORITY
As a result of living on campus, students will become engaged community members who act
with dignity, honesty and pursue a lifelong commitment to learning and excellence.
STRATEGIES
Mustang Meetups
(MMUs)
Mustang Meetups are
intentional conversa-
tions RAs have with
residents in a one on
one format. While RAs
and residents will chat
throughout the year,
MMUs are deeper level
conversations that oc-
cur twice a semester.
Bulletin Boards Events Community Builders
Bulletin Boards are a
way of communicating
our learning goals in a
fun and creative way!
New Bulletin Boards
are posted monthly
and are a great way to
introduce new topics
to residents. Large scale events
happen twice a
semester in the First
Year Area, Upperclass
Suites and Apartment
communities. All events
are connected to one
of the learning goals
and are a fun way
to engage students
outside of their rooms. Community builders
are smaller scale
events that encourage
relationship and
community building
both inside and outside
of the residence halls.
Community Builders
are facilitated by
the RAs and occur
monthly.
