1:1 101 Workshop with Michael Zirkel, Berry CollegeBonner Foundation
Presented at the 2018 Bonner Fall Directors Meeting by Michael Zirkel, Berry College. Who meets with the Bonner student? What's the script? When in the semester/year? Where does it all happen?

In describing the first-year Honors and Scholars residence hall, one student stated:
“The atmosphere was very supportive. Most
students understood when I needed to study
and when I could hang out. Also, the
availability of help in any area was
wonderful. Because many students in my
honors classes also lived in the hall I could easily
go to them with questions… The combined
environment of learning and studying
yet being able to have fun at the same
time was just wonderful.”

29. What our students say...
In describing the upper-class Honors and Scholars residence hall, one student stated:
“Because the [hall] is so small and the residents are
so active, the hall was a wonderful environment. But
living there also helped a lot with
communication with honors, especially being
able to see [the Honors Academic Support
Coordinator] in the hall once in a while. Also,
people tended to be in the same classes
which helped for study groups. But really it was the
people and especially the RAs that made all the
difference in the world.”
