The Residential College (Lourdes, Tau and Maria) on WSU's West Campus serves to integrate academic and community life through academic programs and strong connections to Housing and Residence Life.  By providing Living and Learning Communities for first year students and the House System for all living on West Campus.  We aim to give students opportunities that encourage them to make connections; connecting ideas to reality, learning to life, students to students and students to faculty.  

 

The Residential College is not an academic college (like the College of Liberal Arts), but rather it reflects the traditions of great universities such as Oxford and Cambridge.  The houses serve as an organizing structure for community life (activities and governance). Students at the Residential College at WSU are placed in a house dependent on their room assignment on West Campus. 

 

Faculty Fellows are an integral part of our community at the Residential College.  These individuals have shown commitment to our students and the mission of the Residential College by offering support and ideas.  Each faculty fellow has a commitment to students in and out of the classroom. You may see them at the Tuesday Directors' Coffees or attending a House Dinner.  They help to ensure the academic focus of the community at the Residential College.
