STUDENT LIFE SERVICES

The faculty and administrative officials of the College believe that their ultimate responsibility is to assist students to be well-adjusted, useful citizens in the state and nation. To this end, a wide variety of services are provided to aid the student in need of guidance.

Academically, the student is expected to assume responsibility for all curriculum requirements. Faculty members within the major department serve in an advisory capacity to students in this area. Students should feel free to discuss any academic problems that they may have with a member of the faculty or with the Dean of the College.

The Summer Academic Planning Program is designed to help new students orient themselves to the curriculum requirements and course offerings of the college. Each student is assigned to a faculty member during a two-day session of academic orientation. Instituted in 1973, this summer program provides an opportunity for new students to become familiar with the college before entering in the fall. The program is administered by the offices of the Dean of the College and the Dean of Students.

The office of the Vice President for Student Affairs and Dean of Students is an integral part of the student personnel program. The staff is responsible for student life in the residence halls and for the numerous student life activities.

Members of the Dean of Students' staff are responsible for providing counseling services for students. This staff includes head residents, assistant head residents, and resident advisers, in addition to the Dean, Associate Dean and Assistant Dean of Students. Health counseling is primarily a function of the College Infirmary staff. All members of the Dean of Students' Office try to assist students who have particular problems regardless of the nature of these problems. Career counseling, including vocational interest inventory administration and analysis, is available to students requesting assistance through the office of the Vice President for Student Affairs.

Residence Halls

Ten residence halls offering comfort, convenience, recreation and study areas are an integral part of life at Longwood

College. As a residential institution,

Longwood College believes group living provides opportunities for personal development and education, and such group living leads to an appreciation of the responsibilities of group behavior.

The College therefore requires all students, with the exception of those students who prefer to live at home, to live in the residence halls. Any other exceptions must be made by a Hearing Board to be convened by the Dean of Students.

A Head Resident occupies a suite of rooms in each residence hall and is available to the students for any help they may need. She also works closely with the Housekeeping Supervisor for residence hall maintenance.

The student rooms are warm and colorful, furnished with beds, desks, chairs, dressers, bookshelves, and closet space. Each student is responsible for the care of his own room and is expectec to furnish his own study lamp, bed linens, bedspreads, blankets, pillows, towels, washcloths and waste baskets.

Kitchen and laundry facilities are available on most halls for student use. The recreational areas located in each residence hall are spacious and each has an adjoining kitchen.

In the spring, returning upperclassmen choose their residence halls and suites for the next fall session.

The oldest of the residence halls are Tabb and French. These two buildings are located east of Ruffner Hall, and overlook the colonnade and sunken garden. Students have direct inside access to the gymnasium, swimming pool, infirmary, dining hall and a number of classrooms. Bathroom facilities are located on each floor. Extensive renovation programs were completed in these residence halls in 1970, 1971, and 1972.

North Cunningham, constructed in 1928, Main Cunningham in 1932, with an annex constructed in 1938, and South Cunningham in 19 58, form a complex of three residence halls. Centrally located on campus, each of these residence halls has elevator service and rooms arranged in suites with connecting baths.
