Mule.org is a living and learning option for
freshman and sophomore students focusing on students' academic and personal
success. Mule.org students are given the opportunity to interact more directly
with faculty both in classes and in the residence halls to enhance learning in
these courses.
Mule.org fosters a "living and learning"
environment. Each semester students enroll in a common block of classes,
resulting in the formation of a "learning community." An exciting environment is
created in which students share responsibility for learning and enjoy studying
more.
The other component to the living and learning
environment is involvement. Students take an active role in planning and
initiating activities on their floors and within the hall. Students are
encouraged to participate in campus activities such as Homecoming, Intramural
sports, campus organizations, and other programs that enrich the college
experience.
Fall 2006 freshman students in Mule.org reside in
Harrod Hall (women) and in Talley Hall (men). Each area has a computer/study
lounge and resident assistants.
