Northwestern welcomes new Faculty-in-Residence
Years after completing his own undergraduate degree, Aaron Shaw, Associate Professor of Communication Studies and Sociology, found himself moving back into a residence hall–this time with his own family, plus a mission to create a welcoming community for Northwestern students as a Faculty-in-Residence (FIR).
Introductions to the Area Councils
Area Councils are student-led groups that strengthen residential life at Northwestern by planning events, fostering community, and offering leadership opportunities across the four campus areas. Now in their fourth year, they continue to grow as a tradition—hosting everything from pumpkin patches to Chicago Bulls outings while helping students build skills through the Northwestern Leadership Framework.
