FAQs
Living & Learning
Living & Learning communities are a part of our Residential curriculum. It provides an intentional framework to educate students outside of the classroom. Just like there is a curriculum or syllabus in the classroom, our Residential curriculum guides your learning that takes place as a member of our residential community. This curricular approach was created to provide intentional learning opportunities for Stevenson residents. This learning is centered around Residence Life and Housing’s four main learning goals (academic commitment, awareness of self, awareness of others, and community engagement). We utilize several strategies to foster these learning goals.
Mustang Meetups
Intentional conversations are the foundation of our Residential curriculum. Mustang Meetups are one-on-one conversations between a Resident Assistant and a resident. They can occur anywhere on campus and should be around 20 minutes in length. RAs will be given a lesson plan that contains suggested questions to help guide the conversation as well as learning goals that the conversation should be centered around.
Bulletin Boards
Bulletin boards are a great way to communicate our Residential curriculum learning goals in a fun and creative way. RAs will be given a lesson plan with detailed instructions as to which learning goal the bulletin board should be focused on.
Community Builders
Monthly community builders are another way we have RAs build relationships and connections on their floor. These community builders can be a consistent activity or a new activity each month. These are activities that get residents connected to campus more and/or each other.
Roommate Agreements
Roommate agreements are facilitated by every RA in each area. The roommate agreements should happen within the first two weeks of classes and updated whenever a new individual moves in or out of the room. These agreements hold residents accountable and make them discuss certain issues with their roommates.
