lot of things. I can be just a general mentor for life issues. I can be an academic mentor. Or, I can be just a buddy to bounce ideas around and just go things and have lunch and dinner.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Joshua McPhatter, assistant director of academic initiatives in Department of Housing and Residence Life, acknowledges that \u201cthe idea of faculty living alongside students might seem unusual,\u201d but he notes that when Harvard University was founded in 1636, faculty lived with students.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe thought was that faculty could mold young students into proper adults,\u201d he explains. \u201cThe Department of Housing and Residence Life wants to rekindle this spirit of faculty playing an important role in student housing. We want to connect living and learning to enrich the overall UTC student experience.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt the end of the day, I see our Faculty-in-Residence members learning residents by name and story. If they do that, we are confident we will see an impact on retention, persistence and graduation. We will see the power and transformation that living on-campus can bring.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ellis says she believes she and the other faculty members can be a sounding board for all students, \u201cwhatever phase they are through the academic portion of things.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe goal is to help provide just another level of engagement for students in a more informal setting,\u201d she says, adding that a residence hall can make students \u201cfeel comfortable coming to us with whatever issues they have, be it academic or not.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Research data shows that students who are actively engaged in campus-based activities have higher grade-point averages and retention rates, Howard-Baptiste informs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose are all important and key players in making sure that students are not just coming back each year, but they have a positive collegiate experience and that shows up in their grades, in their curricular activities and their community engagement,\u201d she explains. \u201cNot just in our classrooms or on campus formally but also to help cultivate relationships informally with programs that help students grow and mature on campus.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The programs include sporting events, art and theatre programs and awards banquets, she adds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen programs are here at 7 or 8 or 9 at night, we\u2019re here to support those efforts and support the students. So being on campus, I think, makes a lot of sense.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The ultimate goal is pretty straightforward and simple, Howard-Baptiste says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey know that they can just drop in and talk.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Three faculty members are living full-time in residence halls for the school year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-wrap\"><span><a class=\"more-link button text\" href=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2019\/08\/new-program-has-professors-living-in-resident-housing\/\"><span>Continue Reading <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1105,"featured_media":28320,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_slider":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_featurette":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[15,7712,64,661],"tags":[83587,12376,83589,83578,48024,4953,37901],"class_list":{"0":"post-28061","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-campus","8":"category-faculty-and-staff","9":"category-news","10":"category-students","11":"tag-ahad-nasab","12":"tag-jennifer-ellis","13":"tag-lockmiller","14":"tag-residential-life","15":"tag-shewanee-howard-baptiste","16":"tag-uc-foundation","17":"tag-west-campus-housing","18":"entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
