Division of Student Affairs
2009-10 Annual Report
Department: Housing and Residence Life
Person Completing Report: Shannon Staten
Executive Summary – Shanon Staten
2009-2010 was a year of transition as several major projects were completed or had significant
progress completed. Staff met the challenge of working beyond the established business and
facility management processes in order to create vibrant communities for students.
By fall, 2009, 4,013 students could live in campus based communities which represents 24% of
the student population. This was accomplished through an “apartment management” business
enterprise that was established within Housing and Residence Life Office. This affiliation
process incorporated a method for working with both new apartment communities that were
being designed and existing communities that were contiguous to campus. A matrix of five
levels was created that would allow the communities to affiliate at different business degrees
with the Housing office and the campus. The department negotiated the first two affiliation
agreement to fall under this new process: Phoenix Place Apartments on the Health Science
Center campus and The Province on the Belknap Campus.
59% of all freshmen lived on campus for Fall 2009.
We completed the merging of business practices between the University Housing operation and
ULP in time to recruit the new freshmen to live on campus. Both housing operations appear
totally seamless to students and parents. Policies and procedures are similar, critical dates and
charges mirror each other, and students can move between facilities without penalty.
Along with the business practice merger, University Housing and ULP completed their move to
a totally paperless housing process with the opening of the new on line room selection process.
Student now apply for housing, pay the application charges, select a room and roommate, and
accept their housing assignment on line. This new process is faster, more efficient, gives the
student more control over their room and roommate selection. It also is more cost efficient by
reducing staff time, paper, printing and mailing costs. The time saved allows the Housing and
Residence Life staff to reassign rooms and maintain a shorter waiting list.
We requested and received an audit during the fall semester. We had not been reviewed since
1981. Since that time we have transitioned into a full auxiliary unit, created the affiliation
agreement process, partnered with privatized housing and changed our focus for growth.
Many recommendations were made regarding our internal auditing, policies and procedures (to
be updated), and some of the financial transactions that were not accurate.
This Annual Report highlights the various teams within campus housing. Data reported includes
the halls managed by ULP as well as the university owned halls.
Executive Summary: Teresa Crum, ULP General Manager
2009 was a busy year at University of Louisville Properties. It was not “Business as Usual” but
rather one of change. Basic tenants were the same, residents moved in, programming
occurred, rent was collected and residents moved out. We ran a successful summer conference
program. We coordinated with athletics to house their athletes. We sponsored and cosponsored events on and around campus with other departments and student organizations.
The pool was retrofitted to meet the Virginia Graeme Baker Bill. A plan was established with
the Southern Police Institute for their students to continue staying with us and accommodating
them with the number of beds they needed. We survived the flood with little to no damage
and were ready to pitch in where needed to assist the rest of campus.
The biggest accomplishment was getting RMS online with all of our beds and moving to an
online application and assignment process that coordinated with University of Louisville
Housing. We spent 1000’s of hours on this project. Students can now apply and sign a license
that is applicable to both areas. They also have the freedom, as space allows, to move
throughout campus with no penalties. The cancellation policy is the same in both areas and so
students are getting the same consistent message across the on campus housing units. This
process required us to spend time together negotiating business practices, time lines for
assignments, and coordinating efforts to get all the beds assigned on campus. This process has
created a real “team” atmosphere between both areas.
As we always do, our programming team had a fantastic year and are in the stages of planning
for a new year. In the 2009-2010 academic year we collaborated in some new ways and
formed new collaborations. We started an Urban Living series in coordination with DPS and
Housing and Residence Life. We took programming to both areas of housing with DPS on how
to live more responsibly in an urban environment. In addition to expanding our Queen of
Sheba series with PEACC we also helped sponsor Take Back the Night. These are only two of
the many examples of programming work that we are doing in the halls to engage our students
in their world.
Finally, ULP needed some clear direction about who we are and how that fits into the University
and Housing and Residence Life. The staff embarked on some “soul” searching and developed a
mission and motto that truly describe what we are about.
Mission: ULP is committed to fostering student development and success beyond the
classroom by enhancing the total living learning community through innovation, diverse
experiences and empowering human progress.
Motto: Where students thrive…from Acceptance to Commencement
1. Programs and Services:

Health Advocate Collaboration: Housing partnered with Health Education to add an
executive council position to the RSA board. The Health Advocate served as the
resource for programming and student health needs. Activities included
presentation of programs throughout the year, posting the Health Student
Newsletter, serving in an executive board position, coordinating a health advocate
board composed of a representative from each hall. Health Education paid the
housing scholarship; housing provided the meal plan.

Programs: 323 programs were planned and presented for the residents living on
campus in 2009-2010. Another 100 events were identified by staff for the resident
students to participate in on campus (Student Activities, etc). Many programs were
for multiple floors and halls to participate in as an effort to combine programming
and build community between living areas. The types of programs ranged across
the various learning areas. Some of the highlights in each area include:
 social events: Cornhole competition, game night, day at the beach, dinner of
Thanks, multicultural style show,
 community service projects: Clothe the back track staff, Scholars House
events, Angel tree, Community service fair, Penny wars, Mr. Bettie Contest,


Summary of Affiliate apartment community events: Services and Programs for
affiliate housing (Phoenix Place and the Province) are collaboration through our
representatives from the Housing and Residence Life Office (Hannah Piechowski)
and the representative from the Province (Shannan Harrig). These programs
include Tuesday night events and luncheons of staff from both areas. The
purpose of the Tuesday Night Series was to bring the educational and social
events found on Belknap Campus to the residential community at the Province.
Events included a Civic engagement swap shop, a SAB Cook-Out, a Championship
Game Celebration, A V-Day sponsored event, Yoga and Intramurals, and
semesterly Kick-Off events. The Province staff hosted many social events
throughout the semester and year: examples include pool parties, Thanksgiving
Dinner, movie nights, and game nights.

Student Leadership:

First Year Guides (FYGs): The FYG Program expanded to include the ULP Halls
for Fall 2009. This increased our FYGs from 30 to 46 student leaders. FYGs
worked with RAs in the residence halls, including the addition of ULP halls, to
develop social programs and connect new students to campus resources.
Student satisfaction was assessed through surveys distributed to residents in
the halls. FYG performance was assessed through surveys completed by the
RAs the FYGs worked with and by their supervisor. Lead FYGs were
implemented this year as well. Returning FYGs were asked to serve as
mentors to new FYGs in each community. For example: Kurz Hall had a Lead
FYG, while Miller Hall worked with another Lead FYG. The Lead FYGs also
helped with Sunday staff meetings for the entire FYG staff. The larger total
number of FYGs will continue next year as the increased number helped
intentionally serve the entire freshmen live-on population.

National Residence Hall Honorary (NRHH): NRHH continued to recognize the
positive contributions of the housing community through the publishing of
the Of the Months (OTMs) and hosting the annual Housing Banquet. NRHH
president for 2009-2010: Adam Scarsella.
 Resident Student Association (RSA): President for 2009-2010: Zac Seiler.
Participated in the state, regional and national student conferences;
conducted two retreat weekends of leadership training and development
with the student leaders in the halls; and participated in several university
initiatives and committees including the Food Advisory Board and the
University Smoke Out drive with the Provost. RSA co-sponsored the Block
Party, Foam Dance, and other SAB events throughout the year. The leaders
supported Scholar House as their community service focus for the year by
hosting the children for trick-or-treat, volunteering time at the site, and
collecting personal hygiene products to create emergency kits for families in
crisis. The president was recognized as Executive Board Officer of the Month
for October at the regional level (SAACURH)
2. Major Accomplishments:

Created and opened the “green resident room” in Louisville Hall.

Affiliated with the new community: The Province which opened for fall 2009. 422
female and 386 male students lived in this new community for the fall. Housing
coordinated various programs from Student Affairs; the management of the
community hosted many events as well.

Affiliated with an existing community by the Health Sciences Campus: Phoenix Place
which has 225 apartments of students, faculty, staff and professional doctors from
the campus.

Hired and placed First Year Guide Mentors in the ULP halls. They were training,
supervised and paid by UL housing office.

Meal plan: Participated in the overall program of dining services assisting with
adding new locations, developing the new commuter meal plan, chairing the
university task group which wrote the data program for the new meal plan, chairing
the meal plan waiver committee and serving as the appeal decision for resident
students (beyond the waiver committee).

Finalized an updated electronic application and assignment process for students
including: changing to an internal application data collection process, developing a
(paypal) type account to collect application charges, developing a three step
application, payment and self-assignment process, and interfacing with ULINK to
allow students to see their assignment and their roommate information in real time.

Flood response and recovery: We were able to convert Stevenson Hall and West
Hall rapidly into temporary offices for education staff and faculty while the
Education building was renovated after the August flood. We hosted the faculty for
the fall semester. We also had to work with our buildings that flooded in the
basements (Miller, Threlkeld, Stevenson and Unitas). Many inventory items such as
extra desks, beds, mattresses and such stored in those areas were lost. Our archive
files for students, staff and finances as well as historical paper files were lost as well.
Some were able to be recovered, but most had to be destroyed. These files were not
available in electronic format, so that information is not available. Michelle Massey
and Jonathan Johnson represented our department throughout the fall and served
the division well.

Allen & O’Hara received a NASPA Bronze Excellence Award recognizing 10 years of
partnership with UofL. It also highlighted the outstanding programming initiatives
conducted by the ULP staff over those 10 years.
3. Staffing Summary:

We were challenged this year with the amount of time three employees took
regarding their staff performance; two staff resigning with little notice and one staff
who was out of the office for several weeks due to a personal illness and recovery.
Additionally, the director out of the office for 5 weeks in the summer due to a
parental illness and death. Having fewer hands in the office and two staff who were
not very efficient or effective caused other staff to work on extra tasks. Overall, the
housing staff is positive as a team and almost always comes through with few flaws
in the final product.

UL Housing Staff breakdown can be found in the attachments. Overall the following
applies: UL hired 181 staff for the 2009-2010 year. Of those 57% were female and
43% were Male. The staff was diverse in ethnic background with 70% Caucasian,
23% Black/Non Hispanic, 2% Hispanic and 5% other.

8. Assessment Initiatives:
Housing engaged in a self assessment using the CAS assessment tool to gain informed
perspectives on the strengths and deficiencies in our housing program. All staff teams
were asked to rate their own functions as well as the functions of other teams in our
department. Discussion notes taken during the assessment meetings revealed that
many of the teams didn’t fully understand the function of the other teams and how they
accomplished their areas. They found it difficult to rank some areas because of this
“lack of knowledge”. A change made in 2010 as a result of the discussion was to provide
a more focused staff meeting that gave teams a chance to share their projects and work
with each other. Results of the actual ranking follows:

Maintenance:
Physical Plant and Facility Assistant Work order totals from January 1, 2009 - December 31,
2009: 4856.
To help with the heavy load of work orders that Physical Plant receives, the Facility Assistants
have assisted them by taking care of day to day maintenance such as lights out, minor
maintenance concerns, furniture repair, etc. Total number of work orders completed by
student Facility Assistants: 844.
Sustainability: Jonathan Johnson and our student “green” representative served on the
University committees for sustainability. This included participation in the Campus “green day”
activities, presenting programs to students, and writing articles for various newsletters.

Green Room Project: This is a collaborative project that enhances UofL’s sustainable
footprint and increases education on campus through Housing, Arts and Sciences and the
University Sustainability Council. A sustainable architectural class developed a design
proposal to pilot a green residence hall room with a budget of $5000. A two-bedroom
efficiency in Louisville Hall with a vaulted ceiling and large window for natural lighting was
selected for the project.
Certain features distinguish this room from any other room on campus. They are different in
ways that make the room much more sustainable and naturally comfortable. Not only is
the room easy on the environment, it is also very easy on the eyes. The floors are made of
bamboo. Because bamboo is a grass, it is much more sustainable in its growing cycle than
wood as grasses will grow back in a relatively quick manner. Bamboo is also exceptional to
walk on! There is no need for carpet as the bamboo is soft and does not cold as tile often
does. In addition, one wall is covered in clay. The clay has insulating features, as well as
easy upkeep. The soft green color adds visual variety and a homey touch. The large
windows let in vast quantities of natural light, cutting down a need for electrical use during
the day. A beautiful ceiling fan helps regulate temperature. Having a low-flow showerhead
and toilet and an aerator on the faucet have cut water use by approximately 50 percent!
With tall ceilings, large windows, along with the several distinctive “green” characteristics,
the room feels less like a dorm and more like a modern, innovative, energy-efficient living
space.
Recycling:
Other initiatives through this project include recycling in the residence halls and in the Housing
Office.
Off Campus Housing Service:
Off Campus Service offers an Off Campus Housing component to serve those students looking
for off campus housing. This provides information on housing listings, roommates, sublets, and
message boards for furniture, carpools, etc., in the community.

Off Campus Housing Service Statistics for 2009:
Small Contracts to provide services for students:
Bed Bath and Beyond: BB&B sponsored and decorated Housing’s model tour room. They also
provided a pack and hold service for students in which students could purchase items from
BB&B on line and have those shipped to the nearest BB&B store close to Uof L for pickup. They
provided approximately $800.00 to RSA as a bonus from this service.
Bed Loft: Students could rent a bed loft that would be installed in their room. The loft would
elevate their bed to allow for extra living space underneath.
On Campus Marketing: This company provided a variety of opportunities for students and
parents. Study and final exam gift packs were ordered by parents and delivered to the
students. Microfridges and carpets could be rented from the company as well.
