The instructional teams are comprised of three or four faculty members and three or four Teaching Assistants or adjunct faculty members. These teams should also try to establish relations with the Resident Assistants and the Peer Mentors who are dedicated to specific floors for the whole year. These student staff have been specially trained to work with Project Renaissance and can be an asset to the success of the program. A librarian is also assigned to work with all Project Renaissance teams. Selection of Students Students are admitted to their courses in such a way as to create, to the greatest extent practical, a microcosm of the freshman class in terms of age, geography, spectrum of interests, academic record, SAT's, race, ethnicity, etc.
Resident students live together in a dormitory on the main campus.
For the 1999-00 academic term, students will be living in Mohawk Tower of Indian Quad. An Introduction to a Community of Inquiry Project Renaissance courses reinforce the values of a research university. They are interdisciplinary and designed to introduce our students to a community of inquiry. These projects grow out of students' community action work and form the basis for their semester's culminating project. They are built on active learning and disciplinary reflectiveness, hallmarks of the General Education Program.
