Honors Space: What To Do When There Isn’T Any, Joy Ochs
Honors Space: What To Do When There Isn’T Any, Joy Ochs
National Collegiate Honors Council Monographs: Chapters
I direct a small honors program from my faculty office in the English Department at Mount Mercy University, which is an institution that is outgrowing its tiny campus. It is an exciting time, with new graduate programs and athletic facilities being added. But there is not enough space. At the end of May 2013, a memo from Academic Affairs made this request: “please contact your students to pack up any personal items they have left in the Honors Lounge, as we need to repurpose that room over the summer.” I have received a memo like this about every year or …
Life Of The Mind/Life Of The House: “This Place Matters”, Vicki Ohl
Life Of The Mind/Life Of The House: “This Place Matters”, Vicki Ohl
National Collegiate Honors Council Monographs: Chapters
“This Place Matters,” the slogan of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, proclaims the importance of a physical property to the understanding of history, traditions, and values (“This place matters,” 2013). “This Place” may be a single room, a building, a neighborhood, or an entire city. The National Collegiate Honors Council has long recognized the power of place by dedicating an extended session at its annual meetings to the exploration of the host city, its popular City as Text™ explorations. Although a community is ultimately defined by its people, the location and architecture contribute to a setting and a history …
It’S All In The Family: The (Honors) Ties That Bind Us, Jamaica Afiya Pouncy
It’S All In The Family: The (Honors) Ties That Bind Us, Jamaica Afiya Pouncy
National Collegiate Honors Council Monographs: Chapters
For many years, the Texas A&M Honors Program functioned in an extremely fluid manner. Students were deemed “honors eligible” according to their grade point average; if that average dropped below the set requirement, they became “honors ineligible.” If the GPA rose, they were eligible again. Under this policy, students continuously floated in and out of the honors community. The recent shift to an application-based process has created an official cohort of honors students as well as the challenge of building a community in a program that has had little sense of continuity.
Living-Learning Communities: As Natural As Cats And Dogs Living Together, John R. Purdie Ii
Living-Learning Communities: As Natural As Cats And Dogs Living Together, John R. Purdie Ii
National Collegiate Honors Council Monographs: Chapters
Fully achieving all the potential benefits of a living-learning community requires effective collaboration between academic affairs and student affairs. Unfortunately, because of differences in organizational structures, priorities, cultural norms, and even the types of people drawn to work in academic affairs and student affairs, collaboration between faculty and staff is as unnatural as cats and dogs living together. Understanding these differences and recognizing the two subcultures that operate within most college housing departments can mitigate the challenges that honors faculty and staff can face when collaborating with staff in housing.
The Place To Be: Designing A City-Connected Honors Residence In Rotterdam, Remko Remijnse
The Place To Be: Designing A City-Connected Honors Residence In Rotterdam, Remko Remijnse
National Collegiate Honors Council Monographs: Chapters
Traditionally, university students in the Netherlands, even honors students, find accommodations on their own; they will rent a room in a house and live together with other students who have independently rented a room in that same building. The typical Dutch student residence is an old, centrally located house that will accommodate five to eight students. While these students would be complete strangers when they begin their time living together, they quickly become a cohesive community, deciding for themselves how their life in the space will be organized by setting up cooking schedules and other agreed-upon formats for using the …
“In An Old Nave’S Grime”: The Spencer Honors House, Rusty Rushton
“In An Old Nave’S Grime”: The Spencer Honors House, Rusty Rushton
National Collegiate Honors Council Monographs: Chapters
The University Honors Program (UHP) at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), its 200 or so students, and its four full-time staff members (Director, Associate Director, Program Coordinator, and Program Manager), all have the good fortune to call home a beautiful old church on the south side of UAB and Birmingham. The Spencer Honors House is where the UHP holds its classes and conducts its business and where the program’s students convene for the myriad reasons honors students convene: committee meetings, late-night study sessions, general recreation especially of the pool and ping pong sort, hanging out, or spending private …
Anomalies And Ambiguities Of A Faculty-In-Residence, Paul Strom
Anomalies And Ambiguities Of A Faculty-In-Residence, Paul Strom
National Collegiate Honors Council Monographs: Chapters
The idea of housing faculty with college students on a campus can certainly be traced back centuries to the college structures within universities such as the University of Paris, Oxford University, and Cambridge University. To be a faculty-in-residence at a modern university requires a conscious decision to live in an ambiguous and sometimes anomalous space that connects housing operations and academics. I occupy such a space, along with my wife and dog, a Golden Retriever, at the University of Colorado, Boulder.
Where Honors Lives: Old Central At Oklahoma State University, Robert Spurrier, Jessica Roark
Where Honors Lives: Old Central At Oklahoma State University, Robert Spurrier, Jessica Roark
National Collegiate Honors Council Monographs: Chapters
The story of where honors lives at Oklahoma State University is one of a series of twists and turns over the years and in many ways actually reenacts the proverbial rags to riches story.
Until 1988, honors space at Oklahoma State University (OSU) was limited to the office of the faculty member who had the title of Honors Director in the College of Arts and Sciences (A&S) and received 0.25 FTE reassigned time for his honors duties. When one of the co-authors of this chapter was asked to become A&S Honors Director in 1988, he already had an administrative office …
Winging It: Why Offering Honors Wings Works At Oral Roberts University, Ashley Sweeney, Hannah Covington, John Korstad
Winging It: Why Offering Honors Wings Works At Oral Roberts University, Ashley Sweeney, Hannah Covington, John Korstad
National Collegiate Honors Council Monographs: Chapters
Perhaps the first feature visitors notice about the campus of Oral Roberts University (ORU) is the drama and bravado of its futuristic architecture. With symbolic, gold-plated buildings and a Prayer Tower positioned at the campus’ center, ORU’s structural design certainly stands as a testament to the Jetsons-esque flavor of its 1960s and 1970s origin. ORU is a private Christian university located in Tulsa, Oklahoma. For many parents, one of the main draws of the school remains its strict policy against co-ed housing. Unlike some of its peer institutions, ORU only offers unisex dorms, which are divided into floors or wings. …
Lessons Learned From Nevada’S Honors Residential Scholars Community, Tamara Valentine
Lessons Learned From Nevada’S Honors Residential Scholars Community, Tamara Valentine
National Collegiate Honors Council Monographs: Chapters
For the past 30 years, intentionally structured living-learning communities (LLCs) have sprung up across residential college campuses in the United States. Recent research has suggested that LLC participation facilitates faculty and peer interaction (Blimling, 1993; Schoem, 2004), influences student learning and the development of critical-thinking skills (Terenzini, Springer, Pascarella, & Nora, 1995; Whitt, Edison, Pascarella, Nora, & Terenzini, 1999), improves retention (Campbell & Fuqua, 2008; Daffron & Holland, 2009), reflects a commitment to civic engagement, and promotes smooth academic and social transitions to college life (Inkelas, Daver, Vogt, & Leonard, 2007; Stassen 2003). In fall 2005, in response to growing …
