Welcome to the neighborhoods
a multidisciplinary model for
action
A neighborhood is a place where people come together with common
shared interests and ideas around a specific theme that addresses
the College's mission and vision.
Forming the
neighborhoods requires that each of us stretch beyond our own
personal research, teaching, and service talents to actively engage
with colleagues whose work expands our knowledge and deepens our
understanding. Through this process, we will surface comprehensive
approaches critical to addressing the complex issues facing our
world.
“Not only do the neighborhoods allow us to live up to our vision
and into our mission, but most importantly, they also bring together
our faculty, students, staff, and resources for multidisciplinary
scholarship and community-based action,” says Dean Darlyne Bailey.

What are people saying and asking?
Q and A about neighborhoods “A block
is about networking and discussion of interesting topics. It
enhances our individual abilities to write grants by bringing
together possible collaborators. It's easier to pitch an
idea to someone
you know.”
- Gillian Roehrig “Some doors are opened just because we know
each other through the block or because people know about the
block. It's a natural place to bring people together.”
