The residential life team seeks faculty and staff volunteers to help launch two new Living Learning Communities for the 2027-28 academic year: the Analog Living Community and the 1870 STEM Society.

The Analog Living Community will focus on hands-on hobbies and practical life skills that help students thrive in an increasingly digital world. Faculty and staff are invited to share their expertise by leading activities such as crafting, cooking, budgeting, home maintenance, financial literacy or other skills that can benefit students.

The 1870 STEM Society is a new community focused on supporting women in STEM while welcoming all students who support its mission. The program will connect students with mentors, professional development opportunities, hands-on experiences and a network of peers, faculty and staff.

The residential life team seeks faculty and staff who are interested in mentoring students, facilitating discussions, sharing professional experiences or helping students build meaningful connections outside the classroom.
