Learning Community Manual - Introduction
Welcome to the Learning Community Manual!
Residential Learning Communities and Scholar Communities are designed to connect first year students who have a common major or interest and live together on the same part of a residence hall floor. Students participating in these programs take two to three courses together first semester of their freshman year. While living on the same part of the residence hall floor they have the opportunity to develop study groups and work with like-minded peers. The students also have unique opportunities to engage with the communities faculty sponsor outside of the classroom by attending campus events together, touring related organizations or businesses and traveling together as a community.
Residential Learning Communities and Scholar Communities are a joint effort sponsored by the Office of Undergraduate Studies as well as University Housing. Each community is sponsored by a department or college. We hope that this manual can answer any question you have about our existing communities or help you to decide if you are interested in developing a new community. If you have any questions or need more information, please contact AnnMarie Williams.
