Learning Initiatives in the Residential Setting
Gene Luna and Jimmie Gahagan, Editors
In 2004, Learning Reconsidered urged educators to think more holistically about student learning and development. Learning Initiatives in the Residential Setting provides a framework for putting this call into action at large universities and small colleges alike. Chapters trace the history of learning in residence halls, discuss academic and student affairs partnerships to support student learning, describe a range of current learning initiatives, offer a typology of living-learning programs and principles for establishing such programs, and discuss the impact of architectural design on student learning. A valuable resource for faculty, academic affairs administrators, and housing professionals who seek to maximize the learning potential of campus residence halls.
