Meals with Heels is a student-initiated program that invites faculty and residents of campus housing to get together for a free meal at a campus dining location of their choice. The intent is to facilitate casual conversations between faculty and students that build relationships and ultimately lead to student academic success.
Education 318 students (a course sponsored by DHRE) were challenged to create a Capstone project that would positively impact the University. Four group-mates were in agreement that the faculty-student relationship could be improved. Thus, Meals with Heels was created by these students. T his initiative provides a great opportunity for both parties to really engage with one another and find strengths, weaknesses, goals, passions, and other interesting information about each other in a less formal setting.
The program has been adopted and run by the DHRE for the last two years. There are easy instructions for faculty and students to use the program and can be found on the housing website.
