Residential Curriculum

Learning Goals and Objectives (WSE Pillars) 

Wellness 

For many students, living on campus for the first time offers them the first opportunities to independently take personal responsibility for their actions and decision-making. We are committed to helping students develop the skills to live independently in manner that is safe, healthy and supportive of their ongoing growth and development.

Identity

Through the residential experience, residents shall take the time to explore the identities that they hold, how those identities shape how they view the work, how they can engage with those who are different from them, and how they can contribute to a diverse and inclusive society.

Scholarship 

In conjunction with the Academic Mission of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, we believe fostering academic success in the residence halls will lead to greater student retention and persistence to graduation. Effective scholarship starts by successfully navigating the transition from high school to college and continues as students explore their chosen course of study and potential career opportunities. 

Engagement 

Students do not have to go through college alone. The on-campus experience poses many opportunities for students to engage with their Resident Assistant, their peers, the campus community, and greater Chattanooga community.
