In a partnership with the Provost’s Office and Dining Services, we continue to look for faculty to host their office hours in the dining halls. We have learned from our students that attending office hours in faculty offices can feel formal and intimidating. We want students to feel comfortable talking to their instructors and provide an opportunity for a more casual interaction to build community between our students and their instructors. We are looking for instructors who are willing to try this, and more specifically, instructors who are teaching large lectures at the 1000 or 2000 level, where students may not get as much direct interaction.
