Abstract
Faculty and staff from academic affairs and residence life at a large Pacific Northwest land-grant institution developed a living-learning (LLC) program entitled Freshman Focus in 2005. The purpose of this program is to improve academic performance and to foster a learning environment outside of the classroom where faculty and students could engage in informal interactions. This program has been active for the past two fall semesters with plans to continue. The purpose of this study was to develop a fuller understanding of the respective roles that academic affairs and student affairs play in regards to living-learning communities. Results of this study provide recommendations for faculty and residence life staff on ways to improve LLC collaboration and increase faculty engagement.
