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 one another. The Residence Life staff will provide
strategies to encourage student learning and engagement in the residence
halls though conversations, events and activities.
LEARNING GOALS
COMMUNITY
LEARNING
INTEGRITY
EXCELLENCE
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 conversations
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
occur 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.
