texture and technique. Overall, Hues
of Kirby allowed residents of various
backgrounds, ethnicities, and experiences to work together for an entire
day, share their ideas and stories, and
bring not only color but also a piece
of their identities to a canvas of blank
cinder block walls. Kirby residents
were thrilled to be leaving a legacy in a
building that has shared more than 50
years of history with LSU.
To assess the objectives of this
program and to ensure that resident
satisfaction and connection were
enhanced, a pre-test was given to residents during the mural-drafting floor
meetings. The assessment identified
the residents' current satisfaction
with the building, as well as their hall
engagement, social comfort, and the
number of conduct meetings attended
thus far in the school year. Results of
the initial survey identified Kirby's student population as one that identified
as "socially reserved" and "high-conduct participants." This implied that
the residents wanted more interactions with one another, had a desire
to practice engaging with their fellow
residents, and - perhaps because of
their lack of engagement - had a high
probability of conduct violations.
Six weeks following the Hues of
Kirby program, a follow-up assessment
examined how this project affected residents' investment in the hall community. Residential engagement increased
by 36 percent, while social comfort
increased by 8 percent and conduct
violations decreased by 6 percent. The
most encouraging result was that residential connection to the community
increased by 50 percent, and residential satisfaction increased by 51 percent.
This program hit the spot!
This information provided LSU
with a better understanding of how
civic engagement projects can positively influence the residential experience.
In addition, this information provides
insight for any community wanting
to further enhance the residential
LSU assessed that their program identified student satisfaction with their building,
hall engagement, and social comfort.
