Welcome to our Community!

Discover how you can develop deeper connections with your fellow students, faculty and the course content through participation in a Learning Community.

Learning Communities facilitate your transition into University life.

Learning Communities are comprised of small groups of about 25 freshmen who each that take two or three courses together. Professors in the classes coordinate the coursework so that students are constantly making connections between the classes. A Learning Community is a way to develop friendships and make connections with other students who have similar interests to you.

Students in a Learning Community often get together for social activities such as sporting events, theater performances, or guest speakers; they share meals with each other and faculty, or they just hang out with each other and have fun, and get involved and meet others.
