Evan Farr, Ph.D.
Evan Farr comes to Mansfield Hall after an eight-year career in academia. As a professor, he focused on first-year transitions to the college experience while also teaching courses in a range of subjects including political science, philosophy, and English composition.
Evan holds a Ph.D. and M.A. in Government from the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. He has researched and published on a variety of topics including education, inclusion in communicative settings, and democratic governance. When he isn’t working with students or deep in thought, Evan enjoys getting outdoors to run, hike, and barbecue, and getting indoors to read and play the odd video game.
College can be energizing… and draining.
If you’ve ever felt socially exhausted, you’re not alone.
Understanding your limits (and what helps you recharge) can make all the difference.

Hangin` in there until spring weather kicks in!
This week at Mansfield Hall our Eugene, OR students did some rock climbing, Burlington, VT connections students took an outing to the bowling alley/arcade, while others took a trip to a local sugar house to learn about all things maple syrup. Students in Madison, WI continued their endeavors to learn about all things maintenance...and they make it look fun!
Happy Friday Friends- enjoy the weekend.
Mansfield Hall had the joy of hosting some professionals at our Madison, WI location recently, which included a student panel.
One of the questions asked was: What do you like about Mansfield Hall?
The answer: how inclusive it is.
No one gets to choose the brain they have, but we do get to choose the world we create. We choose to accept, celebrate, and work toward a world that’s more inclusive of every brain and the incredible things they can do.
Happy World Autism Awareness Day. We see you, and we celebrate you for all that you are and all that you can be!

Sensory overload happens when your brain receives more sensory input than it can comfortably process.
Our nervous systems are constantly taking in information, but when there’s too much coming in (or it’s coming too fast) our systems can become overwhelmed.
We get it, and it can be managed with small, intentional supports like reducing input, creating predictable routines, and building in quiet recovery time.
An impromptu fancy tea break, refining chef skills, gaming galore, and enjoying all things fluffy and white (both the snow ❄️ and of course one of our favorite furry friend, Carmela Sunshine ☀️).
Happy Friday friends; see you next week!
