Students Are More Than a Transaction

Students deserve more than the traditional programming model often seen in residence halls. Education is not a linear, transactional experience (i.e., come to x program, get y, and obtain z benefit). Students are authors of their own stories and educational experiences. In a co-curricular model, students collaborate and co-generate with their peers, student staff, professional staff, faculty, and campus partners to create a dynamic, educational experience that helps them to grow as students and people.

Students Do Not Live in Isolation

Students’ learning does not stop in the classroom. Residence halls in the same way are not just a place to sleep. Residence halls are social learning environments in which students learn from each other and, in the process, learn about themselves. Students can also apply what they learn in the classroom to their personal lives and what they learn in their personal lives to their academics. When learning is sustained and meaningful, student development is positively impacted.
