Residential Life Opens
Search for Scholar-in-Residence
The Department of Residential Life is searching for a dynamic and
engaging faculty member interested in affecting students' lives
outside the classroom. The Scholar-in-Residence Program is designed
to provide faculty and visiting faculty the opportunity to interact
with students in a residential setting. Faculty participants live
in a two-bedroom apartment in the University's South Campus
residence halls. In exchange for the apartment and amenities, a few
of the expectations for faculty are to facilitate programs, attend
hall programs, and meet with residence hall staff and
students.
Interested faculty can request
information on the program from John Sears, coordinator for
academic programs, Department of Residential Life, Unit 4049, 233
Glenbrook Road, Storrs, CT 06269; phone: (860) 486-3430; e-mail: John.Sears@uconn.edu
The deadline for applications is
Friday, May 11, for a year-long appointment beginning in the
fall.
