Event Planning
The planning for events is a collaborative process involving the faculty sponsor, the mentor, the Residence Director, the Academic Learning Communities Coordinator, and of course the program participants. Each community is unique in how they handle event execution.
Normally, the ideas for programs are developed cooperatively by the Mentor and the Faculty Sponsor. Then the Mentor will then work with their Residence Director to plan event logistics. The Residence Director will work with the Academic Learning Communities Coordinator to pay for the event and arrange travel, if applicable.
Depending on the type of event, the Residence Director may or may not attend the actual event. He or she is also encouraged to communicate if attendance by his/her Assistant Director of Residence Life, Associate Director of Housing, Director of Housing, or Academic Learning Communities Coordinator is appropriate. At least one Housing professional staff member must attend community events that are outside of city limits.
