When Kamryn Parker decided to attend college out of state, her family worried. Would she be safe? Would she find herself in an environment that would help her do well in school? If she felt lost, or just had a bad day, would anyone know?<\/p>\n

Parker, from Chico, California, is majoring in computer science, and when a professor gave her a tour of the Engineering and Innovation Residential College, it felt right.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy parents were really happy when we found somewhere where they knew I was going to make great connections with people. They felt a lot better about sending me off a couple states away knowing that I had a professor there who was going to look after me, one that lives with us,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Students in each LLP complete an academic class together. For example, in Engineering and Innovation, a first-semester paper is focused on setting goals and creating a roadmap to achieve them, how to deal with inevitable adversity, managing time and understanding teaching and learning styles. The second semester is focused on engineering projects, which will be presented as part of the College of Engineering\u2019s Senior Design Showcase.<\/p>\n

\u201cStudents participating in my community, on average, have a 13 percent higher GPA than their counterparts in the College of Engineering and an 89 percent retention rate at Boise State,\u201d said Professor Krishna Pakala, who lives in the Engineering and Innovation Residential College with his wife and second-grade son.Krishna Pakala<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Kristin Olson joined Boise State earlier this year as assistant director for Living and Learning Programs. She notes that student engagement and academic success is a defining characteristic across the communities.<\/p>\n

\u201cOverall, students who live on campus perform better academically and are more engaged in school than their peers who live off-campus. That is even more true for students in Living and Learning Programs. The communities engage students very quickly in a positive way and they are academically and socially thriving,\u201d she said. \u201cThe faculty here are so committed to this program, and they continue to just make it better.\u201d<\/p>\n

Faculty members who participate have valuable takeaways, as well.<\/h2>\n

Marketing professor Jonathan Krutz has served as faculty-in-residence for the business and economics community for three years. He was first motivated to participate because as a professor he knew that there often were more students in his classes at the beginning of the semester than at the end.<\/p>\n

\u201cI always wondered about those students and worried about them. I wanted to know them better, to know what their challenges were, to see what kinds of changes I might be able to make in the classroom that could help them,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn my floor, I see that there are 30 students watching out for each other. I see the impact they have on each other and the support they provide for each other, and that\u2019s the strength of the LLPs.\u201dJonathan Krutz<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It has impacted his teaching. In all of his classes, he follows this model by setting up smaller teams of students and having them work on assignments together, and it is making a noticeable difference for students.<\/p>\n

Some students admit they first wondered if they would enjoy living in the same building with a professor. Those worries quickly dissipated.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe faculty in residence are just there if you need them,\u201d said Christian Farradj, who is double majoring in pre-med and biology and lives in the health professions community. \u201cYou are building not necessarily that student-professor relationship \u2014 you get a little bit of that \u2014 but you really get a friend and a mentor out of it, and that\u2019s really amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
