Residence Life Programming
Education is more than purely academic knowledge; it should extend beyond the
confines of the classroom. It is therefore the belief of Lees-McRae College that
residence living should play an important role in encouraging students to
develop their potentials, not only as scholars, but also as social and cultural
beings.
Residential programming at LMC is intended to promote interest in, develop
talents for, and meet student's needs in all areas of their college life. This
philosophy allows for the importance of social-recreational activities, as well
as cultural, academic, and human growth types of programs. The encouragement and
development of talents and skills such as leadership, organization, and
competition should be as rightful a goal of residential programming as its
exposure to intellectual stimuli outside the classroom. Such development can
often be achieved through involvement with the
Residence Hall Association.
While
meeting social-recreational needs, it is also the responsibility of residential
programming to provide experiences that can enhance the college's classroom
offerings, providing forums for intellectual growth.
