Leadership in the Learning Communities

The Learning Communities provides a mechanism for student governance in the House and Learning Community Program. It offers opportunities for students to develop their leadership skills through planning and implementing monthly meetings, educational workshops, peer mentoring, wellness, and social activities for mutual support and engagement. Student Leadership roles in each community include Chair, Vice Chair, and Treasurer.
