Abstract

Faculty-in-residence programs have long been touted as a successful way to provide for both intentional and casual out-of-the-classroom interactions between students and faculty. Despite research on the benefits to students and to faculty of such programs, academic commitments and lack of clarity around the role of live-in faculty has made recruiting of faculty a challenge. This case study provides an account of how McGill University, a publicly-funded, research-intensive university in Montreal, Canada, undertook the development and implementation of a new faculty-in-residence model that honored the long history of faculty living in McGill's residences, provided structured opportunities for faculty-student engagement, and reflected McGill's unique residence culture.
