The Department of Residence Life sponsors two faculty programs within the residence halls that provide on-campus housing for faculty in exchange for their interaction with students and staff.

The first program, Faculty-in-Residence, houses a faculty member for a maximum of two years in the Biddle Hall guest apartment.  Currently the faculty-in-residence is Beatrice Selotlegeng, a visiting College of Business professor from Ghana.

The second program, Scholars Complex Faculty Guest, houses a visiting professor, artist or lecturer for up to two weeks within the Read-Johnson Scholars Complex.  These faculty guests participate in hall activities, dine with residents and may present a program within the hall, which is coordinated by a community assistant.  During Fall Quarter 2006, some of the guests were:

• Derek Taylor, visiting professor from Nelson Mandella University in South Africa; guest of the Department of Political Science
• Herbert Gottfried, 2005 distinguished alumnus; guest of the School of Interdisciplinary Arts
• Jeldrik Pannier & Stephanie Frie, University of Ludwigburgh, who conducted research on war photography and coverage in German media; guest of the Scripps College of Communication
• Jennifer Ridha, Honors Tutorial College alum and guest lecturer
• Gunther Heydemann, Univeristy of Leipzig, guest of School of Journalism
