Housing seeks faculty, staff for "house calls"

The Housing Office is encouraging faculty and staff to participate in the third year of Residence Life House Calls which will take place Sept.  21 – 22. Participants are invited to take part in one or both nights. The House Calls Program is a campus community–building initiative designed to reach out to students living in the residence halls and connect faculty and staff with students.  More than 150 volunteers are needed for the program.

This outreach program involves sending two faculty or staff members, plus a housing representative, knock on residence hall student doors to see if they need assistance with anything. A resource handout will be provided to volunteers regarding topics of conversation such as involvement on campus, room issues, campus safety, or course advisement. This program lets students know that the university community cares and is willing to take time to interact with them one-on-one outside the classroom environment.

House Calls will take place in the residence halls on Tuesday and Wednesday, Sept. 21 and 22, from 6:15 to 9 p.m. each night, with an optional free dinner offered from 5:30-6:15 p.m. If you are interested in participating or would like more information, please e-mail cindyspencer@mail.und.edu or call 777-6281.
