Faculty in Residence Program
A unique opportunity to live and interact with students in the residential community. Seeking applications for the 2020-2021 academic year.
The Faculty in Residence Program provides a unique opportunity for faculty to interact in casual settings within the residence hall environment. These interactions provide learning and growing opportunities for both students and faculty.
The Faculty in Residence Program fosters the exchange of ideas, intellectual development, personal connections and shared experiences. Faculty will have the opportunity to participate in various events in the hall community, act as mentors, assist students in accomplishing learning outcomes, and become a cherished part of the community. The Faculty in Residence Program works within the Residence Life Experience curriculum, designed in collaboration with cross-divisional student service departments. As a result of this NDSU experience, students will engage to positively impact their communities.
“Sharing my experience and knowledge has been a highlight of my time as NDSU's Faculty in Residence. But the amount of my own learning from students is something I didn’t expect. ” Justin Wageman, School of Education, Faculty in Residence 2015-2018
