Residence Halls
Meet the Housing and Residence Life Staff 2007-2008

Living Learning Communities and specialized living
options offer first year Salisbury University students the opportunity to
live with other first year students who have a similar interest. As a
member of these communities you have the opportunity to discover more about
something you like while having fun and making friends where you live.
The resident assistants plan special programs and activities that
incorporate the theme of the floor. Trips, guest speakers and socials
are just a few examples of past programs. There are seven different
communities students can choose from when completing the housing
application. |
|
| Honors | ||
This learning community will link History 101 and Honors
111. Together, the two courses will explore questions such as what does it
mean to be civilized? What are ideal forms of government? What role or
influence does faith have in culture? Can scientific, historical and
religious truths co-exist? The Honors community is a fabulous opportunity to
learn and live with like-minded students--join us! |
||
| La Cuminidad | ||
If you have an interest in Hispanic/Latino culture and intend to major or
minor in Spanish while at Salisbury this community is for you! It is
tentatively geared towards first year students who have an interest in
pursuing a degree in Spanish studies and who will successfully test into an
advanced section of Spanish studies (testing will take place at Pre-Load).
Space is very limited in this LLC and successful placement will depend upon
successfully testing into the advanced level class. Programming for the Spanish Cluster will focus upon integrating a cultural perspective into day to day life, on examining study abroad options and in community service geared towards the local Salisbury community. Students will be encouraged to foster a moderately immersive experience for one other through the use of written and spoken language, participate in multicultural opportunities to celebrate holidays and festivities associated with the Spanish culture and engage fellow Salisbury students in topical discussions and awareness of cultural issues. |
||
| Education | ||
 Members of this community will explore the many facets
of what it means to be a teacher in America today. The student will
work with children in school, both through classes and special service
projects undertaken jointly with the Education Department faculty.
Students will get to hear about the satisfaction that teaching brings, aw
well as its challenges, as they interact with faculty, area teachers and
each other through informal meetings, shared meals and visits to classrooms.
Members of this community will be enrolled in EDUC 210.
|
||
| ECO Floor | ||
Open to all majors - this floor is for students committed to the
environment! Programming will focus upon both having fun in the environment
(canoeing, for example) and doing something to make it better. There will be
opportunities for volunteering with local environmental organizations such
as the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, as well as working to make the SU campus
more environmentally sustainable. All students participating in the
Eco-Floor will enroll in a common section of ENVR 102 in the fall
(focusing upon environmental factors influencing human history), and will
participate in an environmental service project of your choosing. |
||
| Substance-Free | ||

live in a substance-free environment. Students who live here agree to

unique programs allowing opportunities for student to participate and
interact with each other in the hall. |
