(2/2) Beyond-the-classroom contact in the dining halls is convenient for students, since they can have a quick chat with their Professor on their way to eat rather than setting aside time to visit office hours. Are you #DiningWithFaculty? Let us know so we can share your story!

[WSU Department of First-Year Programs @FirstYearWSU]

(3/3) In the coming weeks, we will be featuring the great work of these faculty members, and sharing some of the great ideas they have for working with their students outside of class! #GoCougs #FirstYearWSU

[WSU Department of First-Year Programs @FirstYearWSU]

(2/3) So far this semester, FYF faculty have offered over 90 opportunities for beyond-the-class contact, including residence hall events, workshops, office hours held in dorms, and meals with students in the dining centers. This resulted in over 800 student contacts!

[WSU Department of First-Year Programs @FirstYearWSU]

(1/3) Did you know that many faculty members at #WSU offer opportunities to interact with their students outside of the classroom? Faculty members who teach in the First-Year-Focus program, WSU's living-learning community are a great example!

[WSU Common Reading Program @CommonReadWSU]

Today from 3:10-4pm in Kimbrough 101, Drew Matott's "The Peace Paper Project" will be live-streamed from @WSUTriCities. This unique talk will focus on how the art of papermaking can be used as a method of dealing with trauma and loss. #WSUCommonReading
