DESCRIPTION
Presented at the 2014 Student Affairs and Services Symposium at York University. Lizzio’s ‘Five Senses’ to Shape Residents’ First Year Experience. In the Spring of 2013, York’s Residence Life program shifted their student development framework to that of Alf Lizzio’s (2006) “Five Senses of Successful Transition” focusing on the importance of positive transition and the First Year Experience. This shift strengthened our theoretical base, complimented the Division’s strategic plan, and allowed us to achieve outcomes that we strive for through residence programming. Using Lizzio’s Senses, as well as ACUHO-I and CAS Standards, we developed a student experience model that is institutionally-relevant, theory-based, and assessable. In this session participants will learn about York’s strategy, and gain relevant ideas for their departments.

Residence Life at York University

Prior to 2007, Residence Life in each residence was coordinated through individual colleges
In 2007, restructuring led to a professional centralized unit under the Centre of Student Community and Leadership Development
Professional and student staff
Volunteer positions
ACUHO-I Standards
“The standards improve the quality of the post-secondary student experience and the professional management of campus housing programs” (ACUHO-I, 2014).
Specifically cited in our model are the areas covered under Education & Programming A. Educational Opportunities, and
B. Staff Activities
Dr. Alf Lizzio
Professor at Griffith University, Australia Paper on “Five Senses” addresses “that there
are consistent needs and concern that students experience as they commence university. Understanding these needs provides a sound basis for designing effective orientation and transition strategies” (Lizzio, 2006).
