Houston: The University of Texas, Arlington, has named its $21-million residence hall after India-born astronaut, Kalpana Chawla, who earned her master's degree there in aerospace engineering in 1984. The three-storey building houses 421 students and was specially designed for a programme that will encourage students to study together. Kalpana Chawla Hall features the Mavericks Scholars Programme, which is designed to develop a community between students in a particular major, discipline, or common interest through course work, activities, study groups and peer and faculty mentorship. ``Students are grouped by major or discipline and will have a peer counselor living with them'', said Dawn Remmers, student success programmes director. More than 25,000 students are expected to enroll at the university this fall, continuing 16 consecutive semesters of enrollment growth. Many more live at privately owned apartments nearby. Chawla was one of the seven crew members aboard the space shuttle Columbia which disintegrated midair in February last year.
