The Faculty-in-Residence Program is one of the ways in which Duke University seeks to facilitate, strengthen, and expand interaction between faculty members and undergraduate students beyond the classroom or laboratory setting. The program is intended to afford at least some members of the faculty with a broad interest in student affairs the unique opportunity to involve themselves intimately in the life of the undergraduate residential community, and thereby to gain a much richer view of the complex texture of student life and its special rhythms, dynamics, and pressures. Students get the chance to interact on a regular basis with faculty members and their families in a setting essentially regulated by students themselves, and one that is largely free of the formality and limitations of the traditional teacher-student relationship.
There are now thirteen faculty members participating in this program, which is sponsored jointly by the Office of Undergraduate Education and the Division of Student Affairs. These scholars represent a wide range of disciplines, backgrounds, and interests, but they all share a common desire to contribute in a direct and personal way to the ongoing effort to strengthen and enhance the quality of the Duke residential experience.
