Are you interested in interacting with first-year students outside of the classroom?  Please consider serving as a Faculty Fellow for the First-Year Residential Experience (FYRE) for 2012-2013!

FYRE currently houses 600 first-year students in Boothroyd, Rowland, and Tallcott Halls in the upper Quads, and in the East Tower.  The program will grow to almost 900 students with the addition of the West Tower in fall 2012.  The program is designed to provide first-year students with a strong residential experience that fosters community, promotes interactions with faculty and staff, and provides engaging activities and programs that assist students in their transition to college.  The Faculty Fellow is an opportunity to interact with students in their living environment and to promote learning and academic success.

The responsibilities of a Faculty Fellow include:

Faculty Fellows must be full-time faculty members, and are eligible to receive $1,100 for professional travel, cash stipend or Bookstore purchase.  If you are interested in this opportunity, please contact Ron Trunzo, Associate Director of Residential Life and Judicial Affairs, at 274-3141, or rtrunzo@ithaca.edu by April 30, 2012.  Thank you for your consideration.
