Resident Scholars live among students in the residence halls and facilitate learning opportunities that foster a stronger connection and sense of belonging within the Carolina Community. Resident Scholars collaborate with students and staff in their assigned residential community to provide formal and informal programming on a variety of topics based on the Resident Scholars’ knowledge and experience. This program is one of many ways that Carolina Housing maintains its commitment to providing students with chances to enhance their overall university experience. The program has been running since fall 2011.
Resident Scholars must be a member of the University community or a guest of a university department. They must also have earned an advanced degree or be in process of earning advanced degree at UNC Chapel Hill. Resident Scholars should be dedicated to working with diverse student populations and understand the value of learning outside of the classroom. Becoming a Resident Scholar is based on the availability of space within the residence halls.
Resident Scholars spend 20 hours per month interacting with their assigned community. Those interactions can include but are not limited to:
Carolina Housing provides each Resident Scholar an on-campus apartment with internet and basic utilities (water, electric). Space availability determines specifics of whether the apartment has 1 or 2 bedrooms or if it includes a washer and dryer in the unit. Resident Scholars are responsible for working with their academic department to secure a campus parking permit.
We are fully staffed with Resident Scholars for the 2020-2021 academic year and are not currently accepting applications. We ask current Resident Scholars to indicate by the spring semester if they are interested in returning to the position for the following year. Vacancies are most likely to be posted in mid to late spring for the following academic year.
