10 | WCnewsmagazine Panel on Student Learning By Carla Batchelor + WGnewsmagazine On March 23, 2006 in Killian, a group of faculty, staff, and students gathered to discuss the new factors which are affecting student learning. 2005-2006 has been designated by Wester Carolina University as a Year of Significant Learning, and this specific panel discussion was one of the several events that Westem has used to commemorate this years theme. The panelists represented various departments and centers on campus because they all had various perspectives on the students based on their interaction with them. Two students were also on this panel for the insight that only a current student can provide on certain topics. The major topic of discussion was how students learn differently today than they did 10 or even 20 years ago. It is a hard task for professors on campus to relate to their students as well as successfully relate the classroom information to their students. Many students feel disconnected from their professors even though this is a small university. Faculty and staff try everyday to find successful techniques to effectively teach. Millennial, the current term: used to describe our generation, is comprised of the most studied students. While this can seem like a positive thing, it is hard for faculty to gear their teaching styles to the new generation of students because they are so different from the students in the past. Western Carolina University is a growing and changing campus. Some of the changes discussed in this panel were how various departments and centers on campus are gearing their aim more towards students. Residential Living for example is trying a new level of connectedness with those who reside on campus. The new ways of connecting to the students include: birthday recognition, Soup Patrol (for sick students), as well as an early alert system (for students who might be slipping in their classes). University Experience is also another way that has been used in the last few years for students to get to know their college campus the first semester of their freshman year. University Experience classes provide students with academic prep (time management skills, understanding and coping lessons) as well as student engagement (attendance at university events). The main reason that these are the two main focuses of USI classes is because college is a hard transition for many students. The program is aimed at encouraging students to be more involved on campus and developing better study skilis, a8 well as effective independence, so that students will enjoy theit experience at Westen Carolina University. Overall this panel on student learning was interesting because it allowed students in the audience to see what problems faculty and staff encounter when working with the students. While it may look like being a faculty or staff member here on campus is a breeze, many struggle with the desire to develop critical thinkers, independent students, as well challenged and interested students in the classroom. From a college student's perspective, it was interesting to see that while many think of their professors as inaccessible, many faculty and staff desire more student accessibility than they currently have. Civic Place - A Special Place in the Village From the Service Learning Department Aspecial place in the Village. That's what the new Civic Place is being called. Itwill be aliving-learning community for a select group of students. "We're looking for a few good young men and young women to participate in the program, said Dr. Glenn Bowen, Western's Director of Service Leaming. Civic Place is being created for students who want to make a difference through community service and civic engagement, he explained. Building 500 in the Village will officially become Civic Place at the start of the fall 2006 semester. The Department of Residential Living will manage the facility and the Service Learning Department will administer the program. Civic Place will offer seminars and workshops, guest speakers, experiential exercises, academic support, video/fim series, community service projects, alternative break trips and other activities. Civic Place programming will allow residents to be the decision makers within the context of specific service/civic engagement and learning goals that will be set. There will be fun activities, including experiential exercises and trips, "but each activity will be grounded in educational principles, Dr. Bowen said. Dr. Bowen's professional background includes work in student leadership development at Florida International University in Miami before coming to Western in September 2004. He plans to include leadership principles and practices in the program at Civic Place Alternative Break trips in the fall and spring will be planned by residents under the supervision of the new Assistant Director of Service Learning, Residents will select a place (service site) and plan a project for each trip. The motto of Civic Place is "Serve ... Learn ...Exoel! Residents will gain interpersonal, team-building and communication skills and experience personal, social and intellectual growth. They will also develop an awareness of social issues and gain leadership competencies as they make meaningful connections with community agencies and civic leaders. In addition, students who participate in the program will develop long-lasting friendships. ultimately, according to Dr. Bowen, residents and the community at large will derive substantial benefits by their participation in the program. For housing information, interested students may contact Lisa Surber in the Department of Residential Living, Scott Hall, (828) 227-7303, surber@wcu. edu. For program information and an application form, contact the Service Leaming Department, 460 H.F. Robinson Administration Building, (828) 227- 7234; gbowen@weu.edu.
