About
The Residential Colleges (Ashby, Grogan, and Strong) provide a small college environment within the large university setting, with the advantages of both available to students. Administrered by the Residential colleges Office in the University Teaching and learning Commons, the Residential Colleges are curricular and co-curricular academic communities designed around high-impact educational practices and populated by first- and second-year students who live together in a residence hall and take a common core of general education and capstone courses around a particular concept such as contemporary media literacies (Ashby), professionalism (Grogan), or sustainability (Strong). Having been a part of the UNCG academic community since 1970, these innovative living-learning environments offer a full slate of General Education courses in addition to a series of core courses that speak to and engage with a key concept that frames the curricular and co-curricular programming in each RC. The Residential College model is founded on the idea that students who engage with faculty, take classes together in small communities, and connect their intellectual and academic experiences to their lives and communities have a better chance at thriving in college, while learning to explore new ideas and asking how that knowledge might benefit others.
Open to first- and second-year students in every major on campus, the Residential Colleges help students develop a strong foundation in critical inquiry, writing, speaking, and problem solving, as well as personal and social responsibility. Rich in traditions, the Residential Colleges each maintain a series of annual signatures events and unique academic and social programs. The following unique curricular foci and signature pedagogies/methodologies integrate the courses and learning experiences within each RC:
Ashby Residential College in Mary Foust Hall
Curricular Focus: Contemporary Media Literacies
Signature Pedagogy/Methodology: Multi-literacies and Genre Work
Grogan Residential College in Grogan Hall
Curricular Focus: Professionalism
Signature Pedagogy/Methodology: Project- and Team-Based Learning
Strong Residential College in Guilford Hall
Curricular Focus: Sustainability

Vision

Overview
Ashby Residential College, founded in 1970, is the oldest residential college in North Carolina. We foster a holistic academic community grounded in liberal education and multiliteracies. Our primary intellectual and social commitments are to global engagement, social justice, and multiliteracies, which includes sustainability, wellness, and global human rights. We value faculty-student interactions and emphasize small-seminar classes that meet UNCG general education requirements. In-house programs provide support in terms of advising, library access, research, and developing skills in speaking and writing. Self-governing activities encourage students to integrate and apply knowledge to societal challenges, implement projects that foster personal development, innovation, leadership, and civic engagement. Mary Foust Hall houses approximately 120 co-ed freshmen and sophomores. All students who have been admitted to UNCG automatically qualify for application to Ashby. Anyone who wishes to receive more information about the program is encouraged to contact the Ashby Office, located in 124 Mary Foust Hall, 336-334-5915, and to visit the website: http://ashby.uncg.edu.
Ashby Residential College in Mary Foust is an inclusive, two-year program that offers a unique living and learning environment for a co-ed student community of approximately 120 freshmen and sophomores with a limited number of Upper-Class Mentor participants. Ashby is a small college but with immediate and complete access to the diverse facilities, programs, and departments of a larger university. Ashby provides a setting that encourages innovative study, small classes, unity of academic and social experiences, and close student-faculty contacts. A Residential College Coordinator, who serves on the faculty, resides in the hall. Other faculty members have offices in the residence hall. Students and faculty serve on governing committees and participate together in special events within the community.
Every semester, the Ashby curriculum includes approximately eighteen courses taught by faculty from departments across campus. These courses meet UNCG general education requirements as well as requirements for a variety of majors. All students are asked to participate in one of the ARC multidisciplinary core courses, which represent four to five integrated courses from the Ashby curriculum, and to choose another class from the other curricular offerings, which represent a wide range of academic subjects. These seminars, along with varied types of independent study and community service work, make up approximately six hours of a student’s semester course load. The remaining semester hours are taken within the greater university. Ashby students are not only full members of UNCG, but are also encouraged to participate in the life of the university.
