Greetings SIUE Faculty!

University Housing invites you to volunteer with the University Housing Faculty Fellows program. The Faculty Fellows program is a collaborative effort between the Office of the Provost, the Office of Student Affairs and University Housing. 

Research has shown that the more interaction that occurs between faculty and students inside and outside the classroom, the more likely students are to develop in college and be satisfied with their college experience (Astin, 1993). Student development and satisfaction are in direct accordance with the SIUE Academic Affairs Imperative of Student Success and consequently retention. 

So, how can this benefit you? Benefits include:

• Opportunities to interact with students outside of the classroom environment and the traditional professor/student relationship
• Gaining a better understanding of life for today’s college students
• Documented community service toward tenure requirements
• Ability to share research with students and potentially recruit undergraduate research assistants
• Opportunities to demonstrate that learning is not limited to the classroom
• Opportunities to mentor our first year and upper class students

The mission described above may seem challenging, so we have created a simple way for faculty to incorporate involvement by allowing you to choose events that interest you and fit in your schedule. Participation in the Faculty Fellow program consists of approximately 10 hours per semester and can be achieved through the following commitments:

• Attending Faculty Fellow Orientation
• Assisting with Move-In in August
• Developing a communicative relationship with the Resident Assistants and Community Director of your assigned community
• Attending social events like bowling, BBQ’s, educational programs, lobby programs and community meetings
• Creating your own programs to engage with our residents
