Overview of RCI
The 5th Annual Residential Curriculum Institute will challenge you to rethink the practices and grounding philosophies of your residential program. You will have the opportunity to view an alternative to traditional programming models; discover the connections between the residential communities on your campus and your institution’s educational mission; practice developing assessable learning outcomes; and examine the impact this shift in thinking and practice has on you, your department, and students. Sessions offered have been designed both for schools new to the residential curriculum approach and for those with more advanced experience. Whether this is your first RCI or your fifth, you’ll leave inspired with new insights, new collegial connections, and new energy. Come and learn with us!
We have gathered a group of excellent, insightful speakers to share their wisdom and expertise in practical applications. Institutions with residential curricula will also illustrate what has and has not worked on their campuses.
Residential communities constitute one of the most unconsidered and untapped educational venues on college and university campuses. The inherent physical design of these environments and the shared experience of a concentrated undergraduate population affords each student the access to an unprecedented learning experience; one that will likely never occur again. As student affairs professionals overseeing the direction of residence hall education, we have a responsibility to move beyond simply providing opportunities for learning towards an approach that is intentionally designed for our specific student populations.
