VICE PRESIDENT OF STUDENT AFFAIRS AND ENROLLMENT MANAGEMENT

It is an exciting time to be on the University of West Alabama campus! Students are busy on campus: attending class, participating in student activities, and eating in the cafeteria We can feel the anticipation of a post COVID campus, and it seems that students are ready to be social and engaged.

I am so proud of the efforts of the Student Affairs Division over the past year. We have worked very hard to review processes, explore practices, improve policies and increase student success It has been a pleasure to be a part of the implementation of the enrollment management committee, where faculty and staff have been working to remove barriers for students and improve the student experience.

We will continue striving to improve the University of West Alabama for the student, employees, and community. As you review this newsletter, you will see why UWA is special. As we work with currently enrolled students, we also begin a new recruitment cycle for the 2023 24 year. We will work tirelessly to prove that There Is Something About This Place.

SUMMER HOUSING

Housing and Residence Life

Based on feedback from residents, past occupancy numbers, and recommendations from the Enrollment Management Committee, the cost of on campus housing for the summer term offered at a reduced rate of only $800 for the full term (compared to $1500 last summer). This price reduction resulted in a significant increase of on campus residency, with our highest number of residents in at least 10 years. There were 74 students who lived on campus for either the full summer, Summer I, or Summer II, compared to only 18 in Summer 2021 and 8 in Summer 2020.

Residents had the opportunity to find their roommate through My College Roomie, a roommate matching software, and many found great success

ROOMMATE MATCHING

Of 722 students eligible to participate, 545 accepted the invite to participate The number eligible includes current, returning, and transfer students who applied after their regular room selection, so while they could create a profile and interact with others, they were not able to officially match with anyone in the software. 538 students created a profile and 471 completed the questionnaire. 4188 friend requests were sent 590 roommate requests sent, with 223 accepting for a total of 446 residents matched in the software.

Using the 2nd beds from each non-sorority Selden room (since those are singles this year) and the extra beds from Gilbert Quad rooms (haven’t been used for 4 people in 7+ years) were moved to Reed to replace the original beds that were 30 years old. This means that every bed on campus is now height adjustable, so no matter where someone chooses to live, they have the same bed type.

SUMMER AND FUTURE PROJECTS

Every summer brings a number of projects to improve and prepare our halls for the upcoming year. This year’s project highlights include the following:

Stickney Hall will be getting a new elevator soon. While this project was scheduled for the summer, delays in the arrival of the equipment has pushed it into the Fall semester

A new door lock system for Gilbert and Hoover has been approved in the budget for the 2023 fiscal year, with work to be done next summer

Reed Hall has new desk chairs that should allow for better maintenance of rooms and is in line with what many other schools are using in their residence halls now.

Due to major repairs in one room at Reed Hall that resulted in the need to replace the carpet, the Physical Plant decided to try a new flooring option that we don’t have in any other hall, but is quickly moving towards industry standard. The new flooring looks like hardwood, making such a drastic difference in the look and feel of the room. Not only does the resident of the room (and many others) love the look, it will be easier to clean and maintain, cutting costs for labor and stripping/waxing supplies. This flooring will likely be used as we have to replace flooring in the future. New tankless water heaters replaced old huge water heaters at Stickney and Patterson B section. New tables were ordered for Gilbert seminar rooms. These new tables have casters and they nest together as needed. This should allow for much greater flexibility for use of these spaces, from standard classroom set up to group work to open floor plan for activities.

Singles at Selden and Stickney were available for selection starting in March, while historically, singles wouldn’t have been available until mid to late summer In addition, single rooms were offered in Gilbert Hall for both upperclass students and freshmen starting in early July This option wasn’t as popular, with less than 10 residents choosing the single option, but it did give one more option for students

All non sorority rooms at Selden were made available as single rooms only (sorority rooms were already singles). This provided a low cost option for students who wanted a private room and utilized space that hasn’t been occupied in the last two years. In addition to the three sorority wings, two male wings and one female wing were made available, with those 3 wings at 92% occupancy at this time. Smaller Stickney rooms that had bunked beds were all converted to single rooms this year. This gave 10 additional single rooms in the building (with the 1st floor closed), with a total of 24 single rooms. These rooms filled quickly with a waiting list of 20+ people as of the beginning of the semester.

Housing and Residence Life

Resident Assistants and Hall Directors participated in an intensive training workshop with a fun SpongeBob Squarepants Bikini Bottom Edition Theme Topics included programming and community development, conflict mediation, emergency protocols and procedures, time management, and more. Staff development was an essential piece of training as well. Staff enjoyed bowling at Shindig Entertainment Center in Tuscaloosa, Camp Games (including a 3 legged race, sack race, and more), and a campfire night of s’mores and games. In between all the sessions and fun, staff worked hard to prepare halls for our residents, creating creative and engaging bulletin boards, adding personalization with UWA themed door decorations, inspecting rooms and common areas, and planning their 1st floor meetings, programs, newsletters, and more

FALL STAFF TRAINING

18

For the Fall 2022 semester, our applications for current and returning students increased over 20% from Fall 2021. As there were lots of requests for single rooms and knowing that occupancy would remain well below full capacity, the decision was made to increase the amount of single rooms available for this year and to start offering them much earlier in the process.
