OVERVIEW OF RESIDENCE LIFE AT DUKE TIPResidence life is best understood within a larger context of people, ideas, and organizations. Residence life at TIP can trace its history as far back as 1980, when the first Summer Studies Program was held on Duke University’s East Campus. Today, our staff strongly believes that the living environment for residents plays a crucial role in developing the whole student. Unlike a typical summer camp, we have the unique opportunity to develop an exciting residential experience for academically gifted youth. Though these students spend nearly seven hours per day in academic activities while at Field Studies, the cocurricular experience can be just as educational. Through our programs, policies, and personnel, the TIP residence life program functions like a curriculum, albeit a hidden, out-of-classroom curriculum, to enrich each resident’s academic, cultural, interpersonal, emotional, and moral growth.

OUR RESIDENCE LIFE CORE VALUESCommunity BuildingBridging gaps and developing bonds is essential to the Duke TIP experience. We value developing connections across instructional and residential dynamics to promote the pursuit of scholarship and interpersonal engagement in and out of the classroom.

RespectWe encourage and foster a welcoming and celebrative living and learning community, self-reflection, and positive regard toward others.

Teamwork Be it among staff, across campus, or within student groups, we value collaboration as the stable foundation of the Duke TIP experience.

Our Residence Life Mission• To provide and maintain a safe environment that

promotes an appreciation for diversity, wellness, and innovation.

• To facilitate interpersonal growth where inclusion and respect for others are the norms for community living.

• To create an environment that promotes meaningful community building for students and staff.

• To enhance students’ academic, cultural, interpersonal, emotional, and moral development.

What our staff members say about TIP:“The work experience is like no other because it

challenges and develops your work ethic and your skill set in every way possible.”

“Be prepared for an exhausting two weeks, but also be ready to have a lot of fun!”

“A great chance to work in an immersive environment with excellent staff and outstanding kids.”

“Definitely apply if you want to challenge yourself intellectually, socially, and professionally.”

“Be prepared for an extraordinarily intense experience; but once it’s done, you’ll be very glad you

did it!”

“The way students light up and respond to different subjects is priceless. The way they forge strong

friendships in a matter of days is incredible.”

THE TIPSTAR RESIDENCE LIFE PROGRAMMING MODELAll programming efforts and community-building activities cater to the varying personalities and abilities of our students. Field Studies residential staff are encouraged to use the TIPStar Programming Model as a guide to planning activities. Each point below represents one of the five points of the “TIPStar”:DIVERSITY: Understanding and embracing the differences within ourselves and the world around us.Sample activities: community mural, history of hip-hop and freestyling, capoeira and Brazilian culture, “Salsa and salsa.” SERVICE: Supporting the people within our communities through volunteerism and compassion.Sample activities: Project Linus (crochet making for a cause), random acts of kindness competition, cards for the troops, neighborhood clean-up, tree planting.LEADERSHIP: Helping residents grow to become stronger people while exploring and defining their own values, ethics, and identity.Sample activities: college expo, personality tests, debates, library visits, LeaderTIP Academy, Amazing Race.*HEALTH & WELLNESS: Intentionally creating an atmosphere that will enable residents to make healthy lifestyle choices.Sample activities: dancing, yoga, TIPStar Boot Camp, sampling tropical fruits, spa night and healthy snacks, Ultimate Frisbee*, hiking, basketball, fishing trip.FINE ARTS: Fostering opportunities for creative skill sharing through performing arts, creative arts, visual arts, media, and entertainment.Sample activities: postcard making, “kookies and karaoke,” jam session, playwriting, six-word poetry slam, improvisation, friendship bracelet, make a movie, TIPSync*, Dance*, Talent Show*, Music in the Gardens. *Denotes traditional campus-wide events that can also fall under the TIPStar weekend experience.

These five points serve as an opportunity for staff to showcase areas they are passionate about by programming with a purpose. To this end, staff create entertaining enrichment activities while keeping in mind the varying physical and emotional needs of their students.

Button Flair (available at select Field Studies sites)A button-making machine and supplies are provided at certain Field Studies sites to support TIPStar programming and to provide keepsakes from the experience. Students and staff often create and wear their buttons on their lanyards as flair throughout the term. Buttons provide conversation gateways as well as tokens of appreciation and accomplishment for students!

TIPical Cocurricular ActivitiesResidential staff are strongly encouraged to use the TIPStar programming model for ideas and direction to aid in the design and implementation of activities that are intentional and purposeful. Equipment and supplies for residential activities are provided to Field Studies sites.

CLUSTERED VS. NONCLUSTERED SITESField Studies sites are classified as “clustered” or “nonclustered.”

Clustered SitesClustered sites house several Field Studies programs at the same location, normally a college campus. Each field study at a clustered site has its own team, typically comprised of four staff members (one Instructor, and three Instructional Counselors). While each Field Studies course has its own field trips and academic activities, staff members from all courses work together to create a community environment, and some programming is open to all students. Staff also has support from an on-site administrative team.

Residential Life Programing At clustered sites, students are with their classmates throughout the day in academic activities, field trips, evening meetings, and some meals. With that in mind, we encourage residential events that promote interpersonal interaction across classes.

Nonclustered Sites Nonclustered sites host independently run Field Studies programs and are staffed with between four and six staff members (typically one Group Leader, one to two Instructors, plus one to three Instructional Counselors). A smaller staff and student body allows for more flexibility with programming and activity schedules, as each field study explores the unique residential and academic opportunities at their site.

Residential Life ProgramingNonclustered field studies are inherently intense, involving travel and long days. With this in mind, residential activities for nonclustered programs are generally shorter and are designed to facilitate student connections. Activities may take place at various times throughout the program.

Activities for nonclustered sites take place in a number of locations—at the airport, on long bus rides, in public places, and on site. Staff should plan in advance for these situations, and arrive prepared with ways to engage the students and facilitate community through get-to-know-you activities and other fun ways to pass the time.
