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 are comprised of small groups of about 25 freshmen who each that take three courses together and may even live on the same floor of a residence hall. 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.

Each group may have an upperclass mentor, who is a student who participated in a Learning Community as freshmen. Mentors can answer your questions and serve as mentors as you get adjusted to college life.

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