The position of Faculty Affiliates is part of an ongoing University effort to create intimate "learning communities" for our students within the residence halls as a way to integrate students' academic experiences with their residential lives. A key aspect of this effort is the creation of a meaningful and active faculty presence in the residence halls.
Faculty Affiliates work closely with Residence Assistants and a particular living learning community , such as an Explorations floor or Residential College stream. These communities are based on an intellectual topic, such as Science and Technology, or Japanese Visual Culture.
By bringing cultural and intellectual experiences more directly into student life in a lively and often informal fashion, the Faculty Affiliate offers students the benefits of "small college" life within the larger contexts of both the University and the City of New York.
