University Housing-Office of Residence Life strives to provide educational and social programming for students living in our residence halls. Some of our programs include tutoring, MAP Works, faculty involvement, Living-Learning Programs, Night Games, earthwords, and many more events in our halls to support student development while at the University of Iowa.

Tutoring
University Housing offers free, walk-in tutoring between the hours of 8:00 pm-10:00 pm Sunday through Thursday in Quadrangle Hall (Rehder Lounge), Currier Hall (North Lounge), and Mayflower Hall (Classroom).

Tutoring is offered in the following subjects: Rhetoric/Writing, Chemistry, Biological Sciences, and Mathematics.  If you have additional tutoring questions, please contact Michelle Cohenour, Student Learning Coordinator at michelle-cohenour@uiowa.edu or 335-3700.

Call for Involvement
University Housing, in collaboration with the Office of the Provost, invite all faculty members to participate in the 2009-2010 Call for Involvement. This opportunity pairs faculty and staff members' professional and personal interests with students living in the residence halls. Are you looking for a venue to present your latest research before a big conference? Do you want to share your passion for guitars with students? Do you like to knit and would love to teach others? Are you an expert on cholesterol and want to share new clinical findings? Are you attending a concert on campus and willing to meet with students before or after to discuss the event? The 2009-2010 Call for Involvement provides this opportunity for you. Call for Involvement is monitored and supported by the Office of Residence Life. Questions: Contact Michelle Cohenour at michelle-cohenour@uiowa.edu

Living-Learning Communities
Living-Learning Communities provide various opportunities to connect in class topics to out-of-class activities. Iowa's living-learning communities are a great way to find people you can relate to from the moment you arrive on campus. Not only an academic opportunity, life in the living-learning communities offers a chance to build a support network and lasting friendships.
